Rook is served with fish dish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rissole

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

'dish' is the definition.
(rissole is a kind of dish)

'rook is served with fish' is the wordplay.
'rook' becomes 'ris' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is served with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fish' becomes 'sole' (sole is a kind of fish).
'ris'+'sole'='RISSOLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rissole that I've seen before include "Meatball fried in crumbs" , "Fried meat dish" , "Lorises (anag)" , "Meat product" , "Minced meat or fish deep fried in egg and breadcrumbs" .)

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