189. You say crap, I say carp

The bottom dwelling fish originally from Asia which we call ‘Carp’ in English is a very common fish in Moldova.  I would guess that it is the most common fish I lakes and streams in Moldova.  It is also a very popular and inexpensive fish to eat.

For English speakers it is fun to talk about carp because is Romanian the word is crap.  So if you ask someone in Moldovva, “What kind of fish are you eating?” They will probably reply, “Crap”.
