Here in shelter, remains of beer and fish? (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

lee side

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

'here' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'shelter remains of beer and fish?' is the wordplay.
'shelter' becomes 'lee' (as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind).
'remains of beer' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'fish?' becomes 'ide' (type of fish).
'lee'+'s'+'ide'='LEE SIDE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lee side that I've seen before include "Region sheltered from the wind" , "Face sheltered from the wind" , "Needing area of respite" , "By the banks in Cork" , "Area away from wind" .)
