Marmitako fish soup
4 servings
60 minutes
A rich soup of Spanish fishermen, mostly common in the north of the country. Translated from Basque, "marmitako" means "from the pot" - local fishermen did not think about the appearance of the dish and threw into the pot everything that was at hand: tuna, pepper, garlic, potatoes and wine, of course.
