First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Sunfish | Tilapia |
| Nutrient | sunfish | tilapia |
| Protein | 44g | 42g |
| Carbohydrate | 0g | 0g |

| Fat | 2g | 4g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 4g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 1g | 1g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 2g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | sunfish | tilapia |
| Choline | 0% | 21% |
| Vitamin A | 5% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 3% | 0% |
| Vitamin E | 0% | 7% |
| Vitamin K | 0% | 4% |

Sunfish are an excellent source of Vitamin B12. Tilapia are a good source of Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6. Tilapia are a great source of Niacin, Phosphorus. Tilapia are an excellent source of Vitamin B12.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | sunfish | tilapia |
| Vitamin B1 | 18% | 9% |

| Vitamin B12 | 225% | 165% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | sunfish | tilapia |
| Sodium | 12% | 7% |
| Potasium | 22% | 18% |
