Small herring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprat

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">small herring</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sprat that I've seen before include "Small edible fish" , "Small sea fish" , "Parts of a very small fish" , "Parts (anag.)" , "Small fish (used to catch mackerel?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate and The Mirror.
