And given the fact that pike and whitefish are probably adaptations for
those who either couldn't get, or didn't want to deal with, carp,
tilapia is probably no worse an adaptation.  Oddly enough, pike are
easily as bony as carp, but there is an odd method of filleting them
that gives you five asymmetrical (sort of) pieces of meat that avoids
the bones nicely.

I assume the pike/whitefish version is American, since while pike are
European fish (and indigenous to the New World too), I think the
whitefish is New World.
