Tuna pot, marmitako in Basque Country and marmita, marmite or sorropotún in Cantabria is a fish stew that was eaten on tuna fishing boats in the Cantabrian Sea.

[1] Today it is a simple dish with tuna, potatoes, onions, peppers, and tomatoes.

The original French word marmite is a metal pot with lid.

[citation needed] Tuna pot was eaten by Basque fishermen during fishing season.

As they stayed a long time at sea, the food used to go bad, so they ate the tuna they fished with cooked potatoes and choricero peppers that kept well.
