dorados

Bright tropical swimmers

Dorados is the plural of dorado, a large, brightly colored fish found in warm ocean waters, prized both as a sport fish and for eating.

The name comes from Spanish for "golden," describing the fish's vivid yellow and green coloring.

Dorados are also called mahi-mahi or dolphinfish, though they are not related to dolphins.

We caught three dorados off the coast of Baja.
