Its tender meat, which has a pleasant sweetish taste, is easy to cook, and besides, this fish is easy enough to clean, since it has no scales. There are not so few recipes for preparing ice fish, and you can choose a cooking method for any, even the most demanding taste.

Instructions
Step 1
Defrost and clean the fish. This should not be difficult, since icefish not only have no scales, but also have very few bones. Remove the head with gills, tail and fins, gut the fish. Rinse the resulting carcass, dry it slightly with a napkin.
Step 2
If you decide to just fry the ice fish, salt the prepared carcasses, roll in flour and fry in hot oil without covering. You don't need to turn the fish over often to keep the crisp from breaking. It cooks pretty quickly - no more than 15 minutes on low heat.
Step 3
You can fry ice fish not only in flour, but also in sesame seeds, seasoning with curry. You will have an unusual dish with an exotic Asian flavor.
Step 4
This fish is also tasty when just boiled in water (do not cook for long, as it has very tender, easily boiled meat).
Step 5
Another simple recipe is ice fish on an onion pillow. Salt the prepared carcasses, roll in flour and put in a pan over a large amount of finely chopped onions. Fry everything in oil. You do not need to turn the fish over.
Step 6
You can also try more time-consuming recipes. For example, bake ice fish with fresh cabbage in mushroom sauce. Boil a handful of dry mushrooms, preferably white ones. Draining the broth into a separate bowl, cut into small pieces and lightly fry in oil. In the remaining mushroom broth, stew chopped fresh cabbage, first adding a little ghee, and a few minutes before cooking - fried onions, salt, sugar and spices. Lightly fry the fish on both sides in hot oil. Then put the stewed cabbage in a greased baking dish, on top of it - toasted fish, pour the pieces of mushrooms. After filling everything with sour cream, bake the dish in the oven until tender.
