Fried Carp with Potato Salad

Carp fried in breadcrumbs and served with a potato salad is a traditional Christmas dish in both republics. Many years ago, the way to eat carp at Christmas was with a black sauce, but today fried carp is the most commonly prepared Christmas recipe. Potato salad is an excellent cold accompaniment and it also goes well with other fried dishes that the Czechs and Slovaks love to make, such as cheese, cauliflower, mushrooms and schnitzels.
