Run barmaid round a giant perch (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barramundi

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

'a giant perch' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'run barmaid round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'run'+'barmaid'='runbarmaid'
'runbarmaid' is an anagram of 'BARRAMUNDI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for barramundi that I've seen is " Australian fish".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
