Polish Christmas – Carp in the bath

Christmas rolls around yet again so it’s time to fill up the bath in preperation for a fat carp or two. I’m all for fresh food but I think the way carp are sold and stored is not very nice. Wandering the streets of Poland at this time of year you are liable to see an aquarium tank or large plastic container stuffed full of carp.

I’m not a huge fan of carp, it tastes a bit too earthy for me but like the English and their brussel sprouts you eat it because it’s Christmas, it’s tradition and you don’t want to upset Babcia.
