I cut around the rib cage on a filet so it looks like your hand with the thumb extended. Less meat wasted and I like the thumb piece the best especially when it is crispy after frying.

Same here. I love that little finger of belly meat and I can't stand to waste any more of the fish than absolutely necessary. Especially crappie!

Tails are one of my favorites too. I like the roe fried with grits for breakfast.
