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

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.

Absolutely. Filet mignon as compared to pot roast. Just my opinion after commercial and sport fishing and cooking them multiple ways over 25 years living in Alaska. Both are good eating, don't get me wrong.

The flesh can suffer on the really huge ones, but for the most part, it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference.

Sometimes they will get infested with Hagfish, though, and when pulled out of the water, they are basically gelatinous just waiting for a place to fall apart.
