Turn to cleaner for tangy dish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rollmop

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

'tangy dish' is the definition.
'rollmop' can be an answer for 'dish' (I have seen 'savoury dish' mean 'rollmop' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'rollmop'). I am unsure of the 'tangy' bit.

'turn to cleaner' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of turn).
'to cleaner' becomes 'mop' (something which 'cleans').
'roll'+'mop'='ROLLMOP'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rollmop that I've seen before include "Fish" , "Ex-swimmer preserved" , "Rolled and pickled herring" , "Pickled herring on a stick" , "Pickled herring wrapped around onion slices" .)
