Asteroids are made of rock or metal, not ice. What you probably want is
comets.

And if I recall correctly, one model of Ceres has up to 25% being
water.

One could also look at the icy bodies orbiting gas giants,
which may have lower delta vees for transfer orbits thanks to the
proximity of the gas giant. There's a sort of sweet spot involved,
where being in orbit around a gas giant is handy but being in close
orbit isn't.
