Marmitako Fish Soup
Soups • Spanish
Description
A hearty soup made by Spanish fishermen, primarily popular in the northern part of the country. Translated from Basque, "marmitako" means "from the pot"—local fishermen didn’t worry about the appearance of the dish and tossed in whatever they had on hand: tuna, peppers, garlic, potatoes, and of course, wine.
