There are 45 actual filler episodes in Black Clover, and some of them are recap episodes. If you really do not mind watching generic fan-service comedy episodes, then feel free to watch those.
However, nobody likes recap episodes, and you may refer to the list below to skip them!

Why does Black Clove have Fillers and Anime-Exclusives?
Most anime are adaptations of manga, and Black Clover isn’t any different. Usually, when a manga is ongoing, it needs to have abundant content that could be incorporated into the anime.
In the case of Black Clover, the manga does not have sufficient chapters that can be adapted into the anime and hence, the fillers.
Black Clover has anime canon episodes apart from fillers. Anime canons are different from fillers because they are actually incorporated by the creator of the manga, Yuki Tabata.
He has looked over some of the anime-exclusive episodes instead of letting the staff churn out useless fillers.
There are 22 anime-exclusive or anime canon episodes in Black Clover.
Anime Exclusive Episodes: 3, 13, 55-56, 130, 132-133, 136-141, 149-157
Do not skip these anime-canon episodes, as they have a well-structured storyline and are really fun to watch despite lacking a manga arc!
