We have always called this fish seabream, but now we have seen that it can also be called guldsparid in Swedish. Many people may recognise it from the Mediterranean countries, where it is usually called dorada, dourada or similar depending on the country.

Goldsparid, or seabream, is one of our favourite fish, and it ended up on the dinner table tonight. This fish has a nice, firm flesh with a lot of flavour, and if you cook it right, it's easy to pull out the nice flesh without fussing with the bones.
We usually grill the fish, either on a real barbecue or, as now, on the oven's grill grate. Whichever works equally well! We then serve it with rice and a really good citrus sauce with honey and herbs. It is also good with some lightly cooked broccoli, or any other cooked vegetable. Here you can find recipes for grilled seabream with citrus sauce. What is your favourite fish to cook and eat?

I have never heard of this fish. I almost never eat lake fish myself. Mackerel that you pick up directly from the pier when it is landed, throw it in the frying pan, fresh potatoes, spinach and summer! Can it get any better???
Cod loin isn't bad either...

We like that fish very much, in Spain it is called Dorada and we learnt about it there. We also grilled it in a similar way.

Veiken, the goldsparid is a saltwater fish from the Mediterranean. "Mackerel was my favourite when I was little, and we went to Halmstad in the summers. But here in Stockholm you don't find mackerel in the fish counter.
Karin from Lerum, seafood is also very good!
Anders and Birgitta, yes, he actually told me today at the fish counter that it is called Dorada in Spain. It is a Mediterranean fish, so I can imagine that it is more common there!

Have never heard the Swedish name of the seabream. Love it! One of our favourites too. Also the Spanish Dorada of course!
PS. Once again I am late with my comment as I just read that seabream is dorada in Spanish. Don't know if size matters here, but the dorada is significantly larger than the seabream in the ICA counter. DS.

Annika, it's a very tasty fish indeed! The flesh is firm and really nice!
🙂
BP, well apparently it's called dorada in Spanish, at least that's what they said in the fish counter, and then we got it confirmed here. Maybe it's the smaller ones they export...? Here they are usually not very big, although it varies of course.
