Crossword Genius

Seafood, and a sort of apple (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crab

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'seafood' is the first definition.
(crab is a kind of seafood)

'a sort of apple' is the second definition.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for crab that I've seen before include "Clawed shellfish" , "A crustacean; type of apple" , "Sideways scuttler" , "One may be caught" , "Scuttling crustacean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
