Doradas del Mar Menor


The beaches of the Mar Menor, Europe´s largest sea lagoon, are starting to draw sun worshippers who enjoy taking a dip in the warm salty water, doing a bit of work on their tan and then enjoying the fine local cuisine.

One favourite is Doradas del Mar Menor. A dorada is fleshy white fish which is much appreciated by local gourmets. With the fish eaten fresh only the simplest of cooking is required.

To make Doradas del Mar Menor, you need one fish per person. Cut off the tails. Clean and cut along the bottom discarding the contents. Remove the seeds from four large green peppers and chop. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and before it gets too hot add the peppers. When cooked, put the peppers inside the fish and then fry gently until cooked. Drain and serve while still piping hot.
