Dexterity shown in turning to sardines (10)

I believe the answer is:

adroitness

'dexterity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'turning to sardines' is the wordplay.
'turning' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'sardines'='tosardines'
'tosardines' is an anagram of 'ADROITNESS'.

'shown in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adroitness that I've seen before include "finesse" , "Skill" .)
