Where one might eat catch taken in by high tide (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinette

'where one might eat' is the definition.

'catch taken in by high tide' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'net' (net can mean to catch).
'taken in by' indicates putting letters inside.
'high' indicates anagramming the letters (like drunk).
'tide' is an anagram of 'dite'.
'net' placed inside 'dite' is 'DINETTE'.

(Other definitions for dinette that I've seen before include "Eating alcove" , "part of kitchen" , "somewhere to eat" , "Small room for eating" , "meals alcove" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
