Czechs Prepare For Christmas

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - DECEMBER 23: A fishmonger drops a Christmas carp he just fished out live from a tup and killed with a blow to the head into a customer's shopping bag at his stall on December 23, 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic. Deep-fried carp with potato salad preceded by carp tripe soup is the traditional Czech Christmas dinner, and in the days before fisheries from southern Bohemia, where carp farming goes back hundreds of years, sell the live fish from big tubs on street corners.
