Yes, polar bears do eat fish, even in the very cold icy areas where they live. They can dive into the water and sometimes will get lucky and catch a fish. But fish are not their main food.
Polar bears are predators that eat meat, and since fish are not always around to catch, they have to have a few other choices. Their main prey are seals and birds. They prowl the wide icy landscape, looking for holes in the ice. Those holes might be where seals come up out of the water for air. When seals are breeding and have their pups, it is a dangerous time, because the polar bears will eat young seals. The adult seals do their best to protect their young if a bear comes around.
It is a harsh life out in the windy cold places where polar bears live, but they are expert hunters and as long as we help them by not destroying the places they live in, we will be able to study them and learn more about them.
