ice fish
Frozen lake angling
Ice fish are a family of Antarctic fish notable for their translucent blood, which lacks hemoglobin—the oxygen-carrying protein that makes blood red.
They survive in frigid waters where oxygen dissolves more readily.
To ice fish (two words) is to fish through a hole cut in frozen lake or river ice, a common winter activity in cold climates: We went ice fishing on the lake.
