Marmitako is a Basque stew of albacore tuna, potatoes, onions, peppers and tomatoes, traditionally cooked by tuna fishermen aboard their boats.
Wikipedia describes marmitako as a stew traditionally eaten by tuna fishermen on board boats in the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Sea; the name comes from marmita, a metal pot with a lid. The fish is albacore, known as bonito del norte, which migrates close to the Basque coast between about July and September. In the late 20th century marmitako briefly fell out of fashion in restaurants, then returned to menus across the region, and it is most associated with Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
