Madai (Red Snapper)

These were flown in the other day from Japan.
The Red Snapper (aka Madai) is considered the King of Fish in Japan.  Predominantly used for ceremonial and celebratory purposes. And delicious in any preparation.

I took part in a private cooking class held at the Japanese Culinary Center (Manhattan), where a Master Sushi Chef came in and taught us how to break down the fish and prepare the whole fish 5 ways.
From basic Sashimi, to Kelp Marinade, fried Scales, Simmered Split Head in Dashi and Soy, to Soup Stock with Bones.
