===Chef's notes===
[[Bonito]] is a [[Fish|fish]], which is a cross between [[Mackerel|mackerel]] and [[Tuna|tuna]]. The true bonito (which is darkish) is not easily found in the UK so use [[Tuna steaks|tuna steaks]] instead. The fish sold in tins called "Bonito del Norte", whilst excellent is, in fact, white tuna.

Marmitako tastes better when prepared a day in advance.
