Trembling like a fish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashake

'trembling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'like a fish' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'a fish' becomes 'hake' (hake is a kind of fish**).
'as'+'hake'='ASHAKE'

(Other definitions for ashake that I've seen before include "Trembling" , "Vibrating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
