I have to say, I wasn’t expecting much from this review (fillets aren’t really my thing), but the canned Dorado turned out to be a real show. Dorado or “Orada” as we call it here is a common fish in the Adriatic sea as well. It’s commonly prepared fresh (grilled). I have never seen it canned like that. But it does look delicious. Thanks for the review Matthew! 🐟

Thanks for the tip. Tried the skinless and boneless sardines in olive oil. The oil helps and they're decent. Tastes like an everyday brand of tuna so it probably will taste better on crackers, which I have. They have a decent amoutn of taste and are reasonably flaky. Overall, for the very low price, I rate them an easy 9 out of 10. Just wish they were a bit more flaky or delicate.

Eating the Dorade as I'm writing this. Super impressed so incredibly fresh and quality. Favorite can of fish I've had but I'm not a lifelong eater. Wish I remembered how much I paid I think it was less than what the video lists.

I used to work at Trader Joe's, and one thing I've noticed about the products they have, is they are either really good, or really bland. There is never a real in between.

The Dorade is a species of sea bream, the common fresh water bream is also referred to as the bluegill and is common in ponds and streams in the southern U.S. It is one of the few fish I actually caught growing up in Georgia. They are quite small, but fairly tasty.

I think I like the mackerel a bit more than you did. I agree it's not fantastic, but it's a good amount of fish if I'm looking for a proteinaceous lunch. I usually keep a can or two around. I did get the dorade bream and it I wasn't sure what to make of it. It was much bonier than I thought it would be. I picked out the bones, unsure if they were ok to eat. Nice enough. I'm glad I tried it, but not sure if I'd get another one. Good point about Trader Joe's being a bit bland in the tinned fish department. They're a good place for someone who's new to tinned fish to stock up on though.

After a ton of work and a week wait time plus near divorce , I finally ended up with a good plate of firm tasty pickled fish. Talapia are not as oily / fatty as herring so there was a different taste & texture to adapt to. So "why was I there" or why did I do that? H'mmm interesting question , I did not anticipate you asking me that ! Back in the day I could get good pickled herring for $ .99 cents a jar and now it is close to $10.00 for a smaller jar , plus the store bought varieties have a ton of salts which I need to moderate.
