"Mollycoddling" hints at the wordplay element, suggesting an indirect way to derive the answer. In this case, "bit of mollycoddling" suggests we need to take a small part of the word "mollycoddling" to find our answer.

Putting these letters together gives us "MC". Now, in the context of fish, "MC" phonetically resembles "emcee", which sounds like "em-c" or "M-C". However, in cryptic crosswords, homophones are often used, and "MC" could be interpreted as "emcee" or "em-c".
