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