I can’t speak for them all of course but my brother goes fishing with some polish guys from his work (we’re from scotland) and they put the fish back
Some people like eating carps, but it is definitely not considered delicacy by most. It is traditional Christmas Eve meal (and Christmas Eve supper is the most important meal in polish tradition, when whole family meets to celebrate), so Poles would probably pay a lot to get carp for Christmas Eve.
Here’s a wild thought:
Job migrants are often the worst a country can offer. They do not represent anyone, despite trying very hard to do that. Sadly we’re not yet at the point we can turn them into something more useful, like dog food, but don’t let that get you down.
Which part?
– That Carp is a delicacy? – not really, we have one Christmas dish made with carp and that’s pretty much it for the whole year…
– That Polish people act like this in UK? How on earth are we supposed to know?
Yes bc of polish mentality of fishing.
Sounds to me like lazy xenophobia. You hear the same thing about the Polish stealing swans. It’s all a load of rubbish.
I’ve only ate carp once in my life. I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t count it as a delicacy.
Those ppl are Januszes. They really do be like that but they do not represent Poland as a whole.
yes and yes

No and yes
Yes, it’s true. We don’t really understand fishing as a sport, it’s rather seen as something where you catch the fish and consume/share it. There’s also plenty of issues here with people fishing and leaving behind an absolute mess.
We caught one guy that walked off after leaving a huge mess behind him, and it was only my threat to dump it all on his doorstep that he picked up the rubbish. Unfortunately, we boast constantly about how great Poland is, but we treat it like a rubbish dump.
So yes, sadly, this is likely to be true. The only part that isn’t true is carp being a delicacy, because it isn’t.
Possible as there’s a different culture with regards to fishing in the UK and in Poland, in Poland a lot of people would take the fish home as long as they have paid the fee to fish there, in the UK this would be considered theft unless explicitly allowed. There is also a different mentality as in the UK most of the land including lakes etc. is private, in Poland it would mostly belong to the state making it sort of a shared resource.
As to littering UK cities are polluted with empty Polish beer cans but from what I observed it’s popular among the local British homeless as well (cheap and strong in comparison to British beers)
This may be russians and not Polish people. Please don’t be a bitch and don’t mistake civilized Easter European nations with the russians, thank you
I live in Scotland for 16 years and I can agree, there is plenty of litter everywhere.
And Scottish people are not taking well comments that they are the dirtiest nations in Europe (really, the state of this country is appaling) so they always blame someone else for littering everywhere.
But if it’s Poles who are so dirty, then why Poland (while not the cleanest country ever) is spotless in comparision to Britain?
And Scottish people are not taking well comments that they are the dirtiest nations in Europe (really, the state of this country is appalling) so they always blame someone else for littering everywhere.
shit the farmer has in the corner of his yard…
As per fishing – it is true, Britons mostly fish for “sport” and then release the animals back to the water, while Poles are often fishing to eat…
I don’t know about fishing just for fun and releasing it. The fish is most often tortured and wounded anyway. It probably suffers some mental trauma too. Some may die after being released anyway:
“After being caught and released by an angler, fish may die for a variety of reasons. The most common causes of death are the physiological stresses caused by the struggle during capture and injuries caused by the hook or the angler. Some fish may die even though they appear unharmed and despite efforts at revival. Fish that struggle intensely for a long time during capture are usually exhausted and stressed from the accumulation of excessive amounts of lactic acid in their muscles and blood. Severe exhaustion causes physiological imbalance, muscle failure, or death.”
But surprisingly I understand catching fish in order to eat it – that makes sense for me. At least that lowers the carbon footprint:
“Fisheries study shows impact of food choice on carbon emissions. A new study by a team of IMAS and Canadian scientists has found that catching most types of fish produces far less carbon per kilo of protein than land-based alternatives like beef or lamb.”
