Your general point is correct, but Halibut is not endangered. Seafood Watch lists some types of Halibut as a "Good Alternative".

There's perhaps disagreement about this, but Atlantic Halibut is classified as endangered (IUCN Red list) and is also on Greenpeace's red list:

In any case, nobody would disagree that Halibut stocks have been depleted (or even eradicated) in many areas where it was once plentiful.
