Save seafood caught for husband instead (6)

I believe the answer is:

scrimp

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

'save' is the definition.
(scrimping is a kind of saving)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for scrimp that I've seen before include "Be prudent" , "Skimp, stint" , "make economies" , "Do or spend less than is needed" , "Use or do less than is needed, be mean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
