TopDorade (Sea Bream)
There are 200 different varieties of this saltwater fish. The dorade, also called sea bream, can be found in the coastal waters of the Mediterranean, the Atlantic as well as off the coast of Australia and New Zealand.
Characteristics
The dorade has a large head, an oval body and rounded flanks.
The delicate white flesh of the dorade is succulent and juicy, and is suitable for a wide variety of dishes. The dorade is equally delicious in sashimi, ceviche or simply smoked. Dorade caviar is also highly prized.
Culinary tips and advice
You will find fresh whole dorade in your Metro fishmonger's display.
- It is important to scale the dorade as soon as possible. As the scales are abundant and sticky, we suggest that you leave this task to your Metro fish expert.
- The dorade has a lot of bones that should be removed with care in order to keep the flesh intact.
- Any technique can be used to prepare dorade; it can be fried, roasted, poached, grilled, oven-baked or steamed.
- The dorade can be substituted for snapper, sole or sea bass in any recipe.
Availability
Different varieties of dorade are available year-round at your local Metro fish counter.
Nutritional value
The dorade is a lean fish, which makes it very easy to digest. We recommend poaching, steaming or cooking in parchment to preserve the low fat in the fish.
Like most fish, the dorade is an excellent source of high quality protein and provides a considerable amount of folic acid, vitamins B9 and B12, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and potassium.
