Sound spot for fish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plaice

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

'fish' is the definition.
(plaice is a kind of fish)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plaice that I've seen before include "Brown flatfish" , "Swimmer" , "Flatfish; sounds like put" , "Edible flatfish" , "Ice, pal, will catch this fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
