Here's my current assessment of the palatability of various items.

On a 1 to 10 scale based on how agressively the fish eat.

Nightcrawlers: 9
Red wigglers: 9
Dried black soldier fly larvae: 2
Frozen blood worms: 10+++
Pellets: 5 (but better as the water warms)
Fathead minnows: 1


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
