What is a dorado – restaurant menu item?

I am going to a restaurant for work tomorrow, and one thing on the menu is dorado. I think it is a fish of some sort, but I’m not sure. Anyone know?
Here is what it says:
“Blackened” dorado, ragout of fennel and leeks, sauce beurre blanc,
smashed fingerling potato and crab gratin

Dorado is the Spanish name for the dolphin fish, also known as the mahi-mahi in Hawaii.

Not sure what you saw. "Dorado" is the Spanish word for "golden."

Dorado means "golden". El Dorado, back in history, was the mythical city of gold.
