Striped fish (4)
I believe the answer is:
bass
'striped fish' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bass that I've seen before include "Sea perch - male voice" , "Variety of sea and freshwater perch" , "Sea fish; voice" , "Booming percussion instrument" , "Low fellow" .)
