Crossword Genius

She does burn fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

char

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'she does' is the first definition.
(a charwoman, domestic worker)

'burn' is the second definition.
(charring is a kind of burning)

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

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "'Mrs Mopp'" , "Singe, scorch" , "Scorch - fish - cleaning lady" , "Brown" , "Make black by burning, say toast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
