I was speaking to a coworker from Slovakia and she told me that carp is equivalent to eating turkey during Christmas in Eastern European countries such as Czech Republic, Slovakia, certain parts of Germany and Austria, and Poland. Two weeks before Christmas, families would go to outdoor fish markets and buy live carp from outdoor fish holding containers. They would transport their live carps and put them in a bathtub full of water for two weeks. Live carp in the bathtub is equivalent to a Christmas tree, though many families still have Christmas trees too. If someone in the family needed to bath, they would take the carp out of the bathtub and put it in another temporary container. After showering or bathing, the carp would be transported back into the bathtub filled with water. Christmas day is when they eat the carp from the bathtub.



Go to Youtube and type, Vánoční kapr ve vaně, which means Christmas Carp in bathtub in Czech to see what I mean!

This is BC, not Eastern Europe. We put Steelhead in our tubs.

I doubt many people do it...
One thing to remember as well, it is illegal to transport live fish in B.C. and can result in $1000's in fines and jail time.
Carp are an invasive species in B.C., so if you get caught transporting a live one, I'd assume fines would be severe.

Don't think many put them in their tubs but a select few dump them into lakes and rivers, love to see all them carp, base and perch gone, why is there a limit on bass anyhow should be able to kill as many as you like.

I remember my uncle doing the same in Berlin Germany where I was born, but it wasnt for just carp it was for all fish caught, and it was year round, the reason to clean the crap from those dirty rivers out so they became edible, he had a special tub in the yard for just that. So we are truely blessed in this province where we dont have to do that crap....
