Pohořelický kapr

Pohořelický kapr is a fish with an excellent growth capacity, high back and a small head, produced in the Břeclav and Znojmo districts in the South Moravian region in the Czech Republic. The carp is characterized by its outstanding resistance and health and has a firm, consistent muscle meat.

Its colors range from pink to red and it has a fresh fish smell and delicate taste. The carp is also highly valued for its culinary properties and cooking quality. Fish farming has been present in the region since the 13th century, where the excellent climatic conditions, water temperature and long growing season favorably influence the fish production.

When they are processed, the fish can be sold fresh and chilled, marinated, smoked or frozen. For a true local dish, try the Pohořelický carp with potato salad and beetroot.
