On eating Carp, (why not?) here, in the Czech Republic, this fish is a highly prized catch. In most waters, anything of 35cm is taken home and enjoyed!
We pay approx ?20 per year to fish the Prague waters, a similar amount to fish the rest of the country, and a extra ?20 to fish for trout, anywhere within the borders.
Where turky is the UK national Xmas dish, Carp is the Czech one - with potatoe salad. (The Czech Xmas is celebrated on the 24th, so I enjoy my 'proper' Xama dinner the next day ;-))
But what is it like to eat Carp? For one thing, it has a lot of bones. And, if it is from a small, still water you must put it in the bath for 3 days before you eat it. Not that I have ever exerienced a smelly, sweaty Czech at Xmas time, but tradition is tradition,!
ahoj!
