The favourite Christmas meal in Czech Republic is good ol' river carp. Come holiday time, the downtown core is dotted with fishmongers who will club a live carp for you, fillet it and put it in a plastic bag ready for your holiday feast. Me and B went to a fancy jazz restaurant in Old Town Square on Christmas eve and I tucked into a juicy carp fillet the size of a baby's arm. It was soft and boney, also like a baby's arm. B demonstrated her wisdom by ordering the schnitzel. Our waiter's name was Radek and we accompanied our meal with some nice Czech wine. Twas a fine Christmas.
Of all mongers, I think fishmongers are best.
