But on the sushi order guide, the translation for Tai and Madai are the same, most people will just go head order the cheap one, which have a complete different favor. And I have to disagree with you on the "not a good ingredient" part, there are so many dish using Tai in Japan, some of which are favous throught out the world. If you can get you hand on Akashi Tai, the taste is out of this world, but at the same time it going to cost you almost $50/lb retail The reason Tai is not command is beasuse most restaurant serve Blackspot seabream,tilapia or other “cheap” stuff as Tai and serve the real thing red seabream as “Madai” at almost twice the cost.
