What is Madai? Madai (真鯛), or Japanese Red Sea Bream, is one of the most respected fish in Japanese cuisine — farmed in Kyushu at a highly regarded facility and known for its clean aroma, firm flesh, and refined sweetness. Traditionally served at celebrations such as weddings, births, and ceremonial gifts, Madai holds deep cultural significance in Japan. While widely recognized in the U.S. as a sushi topping, in Japan it's enjoyed across sashimi, grilled, steamed, and simmered preparations. Each fish averages around 4lbs.
