Burn fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

char

This clue is a double definition.

'burn' is the first definition.
(charring is a kind of burning)

'fish' is the second definition.
(char is a kind of fish)

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "Singe, scorch" , "Sear - fish" , "Scorch: trout-like fish" , "'Mrs Mopp'" , "Fish < tea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
