Small herring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprat

'small herring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(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 King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror and The Sun.
