Cook small fish (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fry

This clue is a double definition.

'cook' is the first definition.
(frying is a type of cooking)

'small fish' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for fry that I've seen before include "Christopher" , "Cook in fat; young fish" , "woman of note" , "Writer" , "Newly-hatched fishes for the pan?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
