The woman will search for oysters, maybe (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shellfish

'oysters maybe' is the definition.
(I know that oyster is a type of bivalve)

'the woman will search' is the wordplay.
'the woman will' becomes 'shell' (contraction of 'she will').
'search' becomes 'fish' (fishing is a kind of searching).
'shell'+'fish'='SHELLFISH'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shellfish that I've seen before include "Lobsters, cockles, mussels etc" , "provider of pearls?" , "Crustaceans" , "Category of seafood" , "A shrimp, maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
