flea market

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

'where traders' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'quick to catch morning boat' is the wordplay.
'quick' becomes 'fleet' (I've seen this before).
'to catch' indicates putting letters inside.
'morning' becomes 'am'.
'boat' becomes 'ark' (ark is a kind of boat**).
'am'+'ark'='amark'
'fleet' placed around 'amark' is 'FLEA MARKET'.

'are' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
