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

'foreign country' is the definition.
'America' can be an answer for 'country' (United States of America). I am not certain of the 'foreign' bit.

'some steamer i caught' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'AMERICA' is hidden within 'steamer i caught'.

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "The superpower" , "North or South, it's a continent" , "West Side Story song" , "Continent consisting of two great land masses" , "The USA" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
