Take cod up to be cooked and filled (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

packed out

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

'filled' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'take cod up to be cooked' is the wordplay.
'to be cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'take'+'cod'+'up'='takecodup'
'takecodup' is an anagram of 'PACKED OUT'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for packed out that I've seen is " (Hall) full to capacity".)
