They are pretty good. I recently started filleting them backwards (tail to head). You get much more meat from them that way because the biggest chunk of meat is behind the head and with a diagonal cut you can get most of it

I’ll have to YouTube that. Always trying to get more meat.
I’m pretty rough around the rib cage, where I could do better but it’s too time consuming.
Sometimes on the smaller fish like sunfish I’ll clean them whole instead of filleting them. That gets all the meat, but again, time.
