    Never seen Carp for sale here before! Wouldn't think there'd be much demand for it?

    Its the traditional Polish dish for their Christmas eve dinner. A lot of them dont like it tho so swap it for cod or some other nicer white fish.

    Makes sense! Was on special offer! Tried a lot of different fish over the years, but this ain't one!

    Weren't carp one of the original farmed fish?
    Not sure if it's true, but I had been led to believe that they were a farmed by medieval monks in their monasteries and this helped in their spread.
