dorada

/doˈɾada/ · B2 · noun · f

bream

dorada — bream

🐟 dorada = golden (from oro, gold): named for the gold band between its eyes

Dorar means to gild, and dorada is its feminine past participle, so the name literally means gilded. The English name gilt-head says the same thing. Both names come from the gold stripe across the fish's forehead.
