History

Saveur calls txangurro a la donostiarra a locally popular dish created by a Basque chef in the early 20th century and named after Donostia, the Basque name for San Sebastian; cooks classically use small centollo (spider crab) or local buey de mar. In Bilbao it is also a pintxo: Bar El Globo, open on Calle Diputacion since 1997, calls its gratinado de txangurro its most famous pintxo and lists it as a plate at 22 euros at its Plaza Nueva branch. Mina's website lists two txangurro dishes.
