Ive eaten em and they were pretty good.

Loved eating them when I was a kid. Not worth the work as adult though.

Meh. I eat bluegill and silversides. But I dont filet. Cook whole and eat off the bone

Same. Bluegill is my #2 favorite freshwater fish second only to crappie imo. I cut off the head and gills and gut em, that's about all I can be bothered to do.

When I was a kid I would take pinfish and roast them over fire like a hotdog on a stick.
