# Snackable Sea Bream Filets Trader Joe’s Mediterranean Dorade Comes in a Convenient Fish Tin By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2021-03-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-dorade References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/mediterranean-dorade) Canned fish is a great pantry staple and [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-grilled-sardines) wants to help consumers think beyond tuna with its new Mediterranean Dorade. Dorade is the French name for what's known as Gilthead Sea Bream in English-speaking countries. [Trader Joe’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginger-shrimp-lo-mein) Mediterranean Dorade takes this mild-flavored, white meat fish and offers it in the form of a [snackable, shelf-stable tin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumble-bee-snackers). As Trader Joe's explains, "Our supplier hand-packs these full, skin-on fillets of Dorade very simply, with just olive oil and a touch of salt." The result is a great protein alternative that clocks in at 29g of protein and just 190 calories per one-tin serving. This makes the fish a great topper for everything from buttered slices of fresh baguette to green salads that need a little something extra.
