Fish pies seen around South Carolina (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pisces

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

'pies seen around south carolina' is the wordplay.
'seen around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'south carolina' becomes 'sc'.
'pies' going around 'sc' is 'PISCES'.

(Other definitions for pisces that I've seen before include "Twelfth sign of the zodiac, the Fish" , "Fish star sign" , "'Sign of the zodiac, the fish (6)'" , "Twelfth zodiacal sign" , "stars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
