Plural of dorado; large, golden game fish (also called mahi-mahi) prized by sport fishermen, or large South American predatory fish.
From Spanish 'dorado' meaning 'golden', from Latin 'auratus'. The name describes the fish's brilliant golden coloring, especially when fresh-caught.
Dorados are so powerful that they've become legendary in fishing culture—ancient Spanish explorers named them for their gold-like shine, and they've kept that poetic name across centuries.
