Throw rest out as seafood (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lobster

'seafood' is the definition.
(lobster is a kind of seafood)

'throw rest out' is the wordplay.
'throw' becomes 'lob' (to lob something is to chuck or throw it).
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rest' anagrammed gives 'ster'.
'lob'+'ster'='LOBSTER'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for lobster that I've seen before include "one to loft a > shellfish?" , "Bolster up the sea-creature" , "Lets bro have the shellfish" , "Bolster (anag.)" , "food?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
