Second fish for boss on trawler? (7)
I believe the answer is:
skipper
'boss on trawler?' is the definition.
'skipper' can be an answer for 'boss' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'on trawler?' bit.
'second fish' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'fish' becomes 'kipper' (type of fish).
's'+'kipper'='SKIPPER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skipper that I've seen before include "Ship's captain (colloq.)" , "delicate winger?" , "team leader" , "Captain of team or boat - type of butterfly" , "Captain - small butterfly - fish" .)
