Agree with Noni and Juan Jacob. Txitxarro is Basque spelling for "chicharro" (and the other name is "jurel")
Juan Jacob Jun 30, 2007:
Ajá... mucho chicharro por ahí.

http://www.personal.u-net.com/~napoleon/71028fsh.htm - an excellent looking multilingual glossary (although there are always debates over fish names, with variations from village to village along the coast!)
and the pic in consum is reassuringly mackerel like:http://www.consumer.es/web/es/alimentacion/en_la_cocina/rece...
