Sit and fish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perch

I believe this is a double definition.

'sit' is the first definition.
(perching is a kind of sitting)

'fish' is the second definition.
(perch is a kind of fish)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for perch that I've seen before include "Roosting place" , "Freshwater game fish" , "Settle" , "(Fishy) pole where bird sits" , "Rod, pole or - -" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
