Used by those who wish to stick to seafood? (9)

I believe the answer is:

fishpaste

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

'used by those who wish' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'stick to seafood?' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'paste' (as in sticking or pasting something down).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'seafood?' becomes 'fish' (fish is a kind of seafood).
'paste' after 'fish' is 'FISHPASTE'.

'to' acts as a link.
