You could also say "This is a very large fish." There is little difference. One just sounds better than the other sometimes. I know that answer is not satisfying. "Big" is simpler, plainer than "large".

For a general idea you can understand it like this.
Large for quantity.
Big for size.
Though it is not applicable everywhere.
