Finish off anxiety to get some fish (7)

I believe the answer is:

pomfret

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

'some fish' is the definition.
(pomfret is a kind of fish)

'finish off anxiety' is the wordplay.
'finish off' becomes 'pom' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'anxiety' becomes 'fret' (I've seen this before).
'pom'+'fret'='POMFRET'

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pomfret that I've seen before include "sort of cake" , "cake, Yorkshire style" , "Round flat liquorice sweet - Asian food fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
