Slippery as an __ (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eel

(Other definitions for eel that I've seen before include "Slippery type" , "Serpentine fish" , "Unagi, in a sushi bar" , "Apode" , "Ribbon-like fish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post, the USA Today and the Penny Press.
