"Fishing in the Ljubljanica river was once an important activity for Ljubljana's residents, as fish was the cheapest meat citizens could afford. The regular supply for Ljubljana residents was primarily ensured by fishermen from the former suburban village of Krakovo, who caught crayfish and fish and brought them fresh every morning to Ribja Ulica (Fish Street), where the market was located."
