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.

While ingesting fats from fish is generally good, and your statements are all true, the difference is the type and large amount of fat that is found in farmed tilapia. It's not full of only Omega-3's (which are considered good fats), its full of Omega 6's. In fact, it can contain more than a donut or bacon. While Omega 6 is a essential nutrient, eating it in large amounts can be bad for you.
