Haven't eaten many flatheads, but ones I had were good. Blues way better than channels. Even white cats, our native tidal water cats, are better than channels, but they are all head, little meat. Again, all caught in tidal/ brackish water here, do others' results may be different. Besides, enough batter, hot sauce and beer, and most everything ain't bad!

Blue cats under 15# is a close second to what they call fiddlers (2 pounds or slightly smaller channel cats). Channel cats much over 5 pounds start to get a muddy taste. Removing all red meat and belly meat will make big ones better to eat.
