No BLT for you I'm afraid.
Another hint:
You need to consider the two possible meanings of "against extremes" one of which provides the key.

Here's a hint to that hint:
The two possible meanings are:

Totally and utterly stumped with this one!! For us duffers, how about a clue like:- 6 letters beginning with C?

I was just about to give you another (big) hint:
Different versions of the clue could have used "ageist", "aghast" or "agronomist" instead of "against".

The extremes being "ag" and "st" hence "silver" and "street" when deciphered.

An easy one to lift the strain:

@DaleCooper,
Yep, undoubtedly I made that one a ringer. Anyway, a very good guess/decryption.
