Dorade Royale fillets

Catching area

The gilt-head sea bream can be farmed as well as caught, but most of the time sea bream is farmed. Our sea bream is most of the times also farmed in the countries Greece and Turkey. Van der Lee Seafish has also caught sea bream available, but as a supplier we prefer to farm it because catching sea bream is really difficult because of its scarcity. The low availability of sea bream is also the main reason why sea bream can be quite expensive. We sell our dorade royale fillets skin on, pin bone in and boneless. We also have whole round, scaled, gutted, head on or butterfly cut dorade royale available at our ‘Fish Worldwide’-page.

We sell our dorade royale fillets mainly to restaurants and supermarkets in the countries Italy, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.
