Is Tilapia a Good Source of High-quality Protein?

I knew that tilapia was a protein-rich and popular source of food-stuff protein with bodybuilders/strength atheletes, but I was unsure of whether it was a good source of high-quality protein. As it turns out:

Yes, it is!

Not only does tilapia have 7 grams of protein per ounce, but it contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Nutritiondata.self.com gives it an amino acid score of 124/100.
