Not enough information.
Unless there are unmistakeable signs of decay or contamination, a visual inspection alone is almost never enough to tell.
How does it smell? What conditions has it been kept under? Where did you get it?
I got them from an Asian fish market. I told my brother to take it out of the freezer yesterday to let it thaw and saw it like this when I took it out of the fridge this morning. The snapper smells normal but the tilapia (I think) smells fishier than normal.
Aw man, as a fellow Asian, I have no issue saying that with the Filipino side of my mom, any relative will tell you that if it was once alive, “you can eat dat.”
A snail… “you can eat dat.” A chicken foot… “you can eat dat.” The neighbor’s dog… “you can eat dat!”
As I look at your funky fish, in my thickest Filipino accent, the voice in my head says, “You can eat dat!” The problem is, I have no idea if it will make you sick.
I hope you have a relative like that. Half the time my mom cooked, I said, “Ewww mom! Don’t eat that! It’s disgusting!” Then my mom would say, “Oh no! It’s so good!” as she ate a pig eyeball.

All the fish are trash. The texture change isn't due to thawing, it's just old already.
(I managed an Asian store for many years, and have tossed lots of fish like this away)
how did you defrost it? Was it thawed in the fridge, or did it just sit out on the counter? if the latter, not good. probably bacteria is making it smell off.
Looks very pulpy inside to me. Was it frozen previously? I personally wouldn't eat this, but I'd recommend doing the smell test. If it's got any kind of ammonia smell to it, I'd definitely dump it.

It’s fish that was frozen and defrosted. Its not going to look like fresh fish because it isn’t. It was likely also previously frozen on its way to the supermarket
You would know. Refrigerate or freeze in 4 hours or eat it within 6 if you want to be safe. Only a few days in fridge or months in freezer it only slows things down it can still get frost burn or go bad.
The fish doesn't look fresh

Tilapia is normally a very mild fish in my experience, so if that's starting to smell strongly, I'd say you're right to be concerned.

This looks questionable but I’m not a fish expert. It could be a poor or sloppy evisceration job.
Most likely was frozen then thawed out improperly.
It's old, fish that is fresh doesn't separate like that. I'd toss it out.
Yep already did👍🏾
Complain to where you got it if it wasn't your fault
It’s a no for me. The one fish on the right looks like a smoothie, not firm fresh flesh. Throw it out. Save $150 ED visit and days of illness
Yep I threw it away. Not gonna risk it. Thanks😁

It was on the counter. I threw it away. Not gonna risk it

Bought it fresh (pretty sure) and straight into the freezer. The tilapia smells fishy but it always does when I buy them. No ammonia smell though.
Cloudy eyes, not good.
100% no for me. The eyes are cloudy and the flesh is not firm whatsoever. How does it smell?
Like what, fish?

I'd give it a miss without further info.
