Is It Wild or Farmed? The Dorade that The Lobster Place carries is farm raised.

Where is it farmed? Dorade is farmed throughout the Mediterranean Sea, primarily off the coast of Greece and Turkey. They are also farmed in the Canary Islands.

How is it farmed? Dorade are farmed in net pens along Mediterranean coastal waters.

Where does The Lobster Place Source it? The Lobster Place procures Dorade from importers like Intersea Fisheries as well as vendors in the New Fulton Fish Market.

Is it sustainable? Net pens allow for natural exchange of water through the pens thereby limiting disease and pollution build up within the pens.  There are minor risks of disease and parasites affecting wild populations through this natural release of water.  There are also concerns with escapes of farmed dorade affecting the diversity of wild populations.
