A warm Málaga fisherman's soup thickened with an olive-oil-and-egg mayonnaise, sharpened with vinegar and filled with potato and white fish or shellfish.

Gazpachuelo was a poor fishermen's soup, a way to stretch a little fish and potato with a warm emulsion of egg and oil loosened into hot broth. The vinegar cuts the richness of the mayonnaise base. Once humble home cooking, it now appears on smart Málaga menus in refined versions with clams or prawns, but the comforting, tangy heart of the dish is unchanged.
