While they do have a lot of fats I wouldn't go as far as to discard it completely. Tilapia can be good in soups such as bouillabaise, or even covered in in flour and cooked in a little bit of butter...remember to marinade the fish with a bit of lemon juice and worcestershire sauce before dusting in flour.
One of the benefits of eating some fattier fish is that the combination of fat and protein can be very satiating, so as a result, eating something like tilapia holds your appetite at bay longer, cutting down on your total food intake.
