In terms of quality, live ikidai and live preserved shimedai are expensive, and if they are left in the fish tank for too long, their eyes will become sunken soon after being taken out, so in Nagasaki they are called menukedai. Red sea bream are distributed throughout Japan, the Korean peninsula, China, and Southeast Asia.
