    Ok, I had to know, so:

    1. It’s real
    2. Sold only in Czech Republic around Christmas time, though currently unavailable
    3. Apparently fried Carp is a traditional Christmas eve dish in CR
    4. Because of the Christ feeding 5000 with fish and bread bible story.

    I still have questions, but at least I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

      This is hilarious … let’s follow a Christian tradition of eating fish because Jesus Christ and his first followers were all Jewish which means they did not eat pork … we’re out of fish, so let’s continue the tradition by eating pork in the shape of a fish.

      I looked closely and this photo is actually from some Tesco in Slovakia. But yeah, you could just swap Czech Rep. with Slovakia and your points are still valid
