Strategy Guide

Step 1: Ice Fishing 🎣❄️

• Tap and move the axe near the almost-finished ice hole 🪓.
• Tap the hole a few times to break through the ice and reveal a fishing hole 🧊.
• Drag the bait from the bowl to the hook 🪱, then place the rod beside the ice hole 🎣.
• The line lowers slowly… now carefully move the joystick left and right to pull the fish toward the center 🎮.
• Keep the fish inside the green bar for a few seconds to catch it successfully 🟩🐟!
• Oops, it’s a boot! Better luck next time 👢😤.
• Try again – this fish is a fighter! Reel it in and place it in the bucket. Wow, a fresh salmon! 🐟✨

Step 2: Prep the Ingredients 🔪🍅

• Place the fish, cilantro, lemon, fennel, chili, onion, and tomato on the cutting board 🧄.
• Slice the lemon in half 🍋, and finely chop the rest of the ingredients 🫑🌿.
• Put each chopped item back into its own dish 🍽️.
• Lay the fish on the board, slice open the belly and remove the guts, placing them in the dish below 🐟💀.
• Score the fish diagonally to let flavor soak in 🌟🔪.

Step 3: Prepare the Stuffing 🥘🔥

• Stir everything with a spatula until well mixed 🍳.
• Add seasoning: salt, pepper, and chili powder from the three shakers 🧂🌶️.
• Stir again until the stuffing is fully cooked and fragrant 🥄😋.
• Scoop some stuffing into the fish’s belly – repeat three times until full 🐟🥄.
