Sea area promising a quick catch? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fastnet

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

'sea area promising a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'quick catch?' is the wordplay.
'quick' becomes 'fast' (similar in meaning).
'catch?' becomes 'net' (netting is a kind of catching).
'fast'+'net'='FASTNET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fastnet that I've seen before include "area next to Lundy" , "A sea area; a yacht race" , "Rock off Co. Cork" , "shipping forecast area" .)
