Crossword Genius

Grouse, beef and fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crab

I believe this is a triple definition!

'grouse' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'beef' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' is a link.

'fish' is the third definition.
(crabbing is a kind of fishing)

(Other definitions for crab that I've seen before include "Seashore crustacean" , "Scuttling crustacean" , "Clawed shellfish" , "Nautical nipper" , "A crustacean; type of apple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
