Fish travel on ice (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skate

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

'fish' is the definition.
(skate is a kind of fish)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skate that I've seen before include "Takes off like large flatfish" , "Fish of ray family" , "Ice-gliding blade; fish" , "Complete, 19-less" , "Large, edible rays" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
