Seafood sorbet whipped up with a cry (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

oyster crab

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

'seafood' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'sorbet whipped up with a cry' is the wordplay.
'whipped up with' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'cry'='acry'
'sorbet' with its letters mixed up with 'acry' can make 'OYSTER CRAB'.

Can you help me to learn more?
