Eating carp on Christmas Eve for dinner with potato salad is one of the most important Czech Christmas traditions. But where do all those thousands of carps come from every year and what is their story?
A few days before Christmas hundreds of small stands appear in the streets and squares of every Czech city. On almost every corner you can see couple of men by the tub full of water and carps. These carps are specially raised in ponds for this occasion and you can't find them like this at any other time of the year.
