Way to spur fish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sturgeon

'fish' is the definition.
(sturgeon is a kind of fish)

'way to spur' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'to spur' becomes 'urgeon' (as in spurring or urging someone on).
'st'+'urgeon'='STURGEON'

(Other definitions for sturgeon that I've seen before include "The fish for caviars" , "Fish from which caviar is obtained" , "Fish producing caviare" , "Fish producing caviar" , "Caviar-producing fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
