Well-known name for "rock salmon", to a German? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hussein
'well-known name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'rock salmon to a german?' is the wordplay.
'rock salmon' becomes 'huss' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to a german?' becomes 'ein' ('a' in German).
'huss'+'ein'='HUSSEIN'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hussein that I've seen before include "Saddam?" , "King of Jordan, 1952-99" , "Ex-King of Jordan" , "Last Jordanian king" .)
