I believe the answer is:

trouts

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

'fishes' is the definition.
(trout is a kind of fish)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trouts that I've seen before include "rainbow or brown fish, optional plural" , "Plural fish, speckled, rainbow etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
