I’ve never fished for them. I have friends who have and brought them home. They were delicious.

I fish a lot for walleyes. I prefer the 1 to 1 and a half pounders. Bigger ones just don’t taste as sweet. I’ve caught 4 - 8 pounders and I turn them loose.

Here’s my question. Do 70 pound halibut taste better than 333 pounders?

My son in law caught some in the 125lb range and they tasted great. Mine tasted great 35-75lbs, but I’d guess 300 pounders aren’t as tasty.

I would guess since the flatfish mostly burrow into the sand waiting for prey instead of chasing it all over their water body everyday they’d be tender even at monster size than the harder-working ‘regular’ fish.

We call the “smaller” ones chicken. They are much much better eating than the big ones. The meat is not as grainy.
