Try fish skinned by German for this dish (7)

I believe the answer is:

risotto

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

'try fish skinned by german for this dish' is the definition.
'risotto' can be an answer for 'dish' (risotto is a kind of dish). I'm unsure of the rest of the definition.

'german for this dish' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'otto' (I've seen this before).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'this dish' becomes 'ris' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'otto' put after 'ris' is 'RISOTTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Perhaps Italian" , "Italian course" , "F" , "Main course" , "Italian recipe" .)
