dorade

/doh-RAHD/
[French] plural dorades

Red sea bream (US: pandora). Names for fish can be very confusing and this is a good example. Dorade is the red sea bream (US: pandora), a fish related to, but less good than, daurade, the gilt-headed bream. However, daurade is sometimes called dorade. And, to make life even more confusing, dorade also describes a dolphin fish, better known as coriphène. Dorade, as the red sea bream (US: pandora), is also known as belugo, fausse daurade, gros yeux and rousseau. Dorade royale and dorade rosé are the red sea bream (US: pandora), which is better than the grey sea bream.
