Bill, I didn't realize the fish were dead....I thought they were "near" death. I have never done it, but am told they are filleted like a bluegill or crappie and that there is a "Y" bone that needs removal.
Here are some videos of a Blue Tilapia Hybrid being filleted.....I think Catmandoo and N8ly have better tutorials for how to fillet bluegill, which again is how tilapia are filleted....
How to fillet a Tilapia...Part one How to fillet a Tilapia...Part two To prepare or Chill kill Tilapia, simply place them in ice that has just enough water to completely surround all the fish to be cleaned....wait at least a half hour for the bodys to stiffen flat to make filleting much easier.
