I've cleaned lots of them and to me just plain old filleting them works the best. Their rib bones are huge and there's not much meat on them anyway, so I would cut them out anyway.

As far as cooking goes, I'm not sure there's a way to mess them up. If there were I'd have done it by now. Great tasting fish, fun to catch, just a pain to clean.
