English navigator recalled wonderful feature of fish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baffin

'english navigator' is the definition.
(William Baffin, 17th-century navigator)

'recalled wonderful feature of fish' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'wonderful' becomes 'fab' (slang abbreviation of fabulous).
'feature of fish' becomes 'fin' (fish have fins).
'fab' backwards is 'baf'.
'baf'+'fin'='BAFFIN'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
