"Set for fish," you say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

place

'set' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'fish you say' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'plaice' (plaice is a kind of fish).
'you say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'plaice' is a homophone of 'PLACE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "Locality" , "Endearingly pretty" , "Venue" , "Locate" , "Locus" .)
