Roy set out assortment of seafood (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oyster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'assortment of seafood' is the definition.
'oyster' can be an answer for 'seafood' (oyster is a kind of seafood). I'm unsure of the 'assortment of' bit.

'roy set out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'roy'+'set'='royset'
'royset' anagrammed gives 'OYSTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oyster that I've seen before include "Content of stew" , "Source of natural pearls" , "Marine bivalve" , "Pearl-generating bivalve" , "Mollusc with shucks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
