Crossword Genius

One cleans fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

char

I believe this is a double definition.

'one cleans' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish' is the second definition.
(char is a kind of fish)

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "Scorch - fish - cleaning lady" , "Drink" , "Kind of small trout - burn it black" , "Make black by burning, or a small trout" , "House cleaner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
