Are all of these sentences correct?

1: I like meat better than fish.
2: I like meat more than fish.
3: I like my younger sister much better than my two other sisters.
3: I like my younger sister much more than my two other sisters.

Can "better than" be used as a replcacement for "more than"?

They are grammatical.

Can "better than" be used as a replacement for "more than"?
They can in these examples.
