Dorade is a relatively small, unassuming fish with a silvery skin and white flesh. It's mild, sweet flavor is perfect for any preparation that highlights the flavors of the Mediterranean. Because it's not overly oily or fishy, Dorade pairs well with assertive sauces which feature local flavors - rosemary, bay, saffron, or just a good olive oil and squeeze of lemon.
Store your seafood in the coldest part of the refrigerator at 32 degrees for up to 3 days.
In the refrigerator we recommend removing the fillets from their packaging and wrapping them carefully in 2 layers of paper towels to absorb any moisture and firm the fish up for cooking and consuming.
If you don’t plan to consume the fish within 3 days, simply place in the freezer.
To thaw: place seafood in the refrigerator overnight.
