Crossword Genius

Superb fish served by one worker (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brilliant

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

'superb' is the definition.
(I know that superb can be written as brilliant)

'fish served by one worker' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'brill' (brill is a kind of fish).
'served by' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'one worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'brill'+'i'+'ant'='BRILLIANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brilliant that I've seen before include "Vivid; clever" , "Of surpassing excellence" , "Magnificent" , "Very bright; marvellous" , "Brainy" .)
