Scoop out with the fingers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gouge

(Other definitions for gouge that I've seen before include "Make (a rough hole) in a surface" , "old wench" , "Force out brutally" , "Force out with implement" , "In the Bronx cheat" .)

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