Fish to go on ice? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fish' is the definition.
(skate is a kind of fish)

'go on ice?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skate that I've seen before include "Takes off like large flatfish" , "Glide on ice; ray" , "Cartilaginous fish" , "Ice-gliding blade; fish" , "Edible marine fish" .)
