We all know that beef is not sustainable if everyone in the world starts to eat steak/burgers like Americans, because it takes a lot of lands and water and other resources to produce a pound of beef in comparison to say Chicken.
What's the most easily produced meat? Is it Tilapia?

Everything is sustainable if people simply consume in moderation.
And what's the point of substituting fish for beef? They're hardly similar. No one needs to consume animal products. They're not necessities.
So, again, the key isn't choosing one or the other, it is consuming in moderation and making plants a larger part of human diets.
Sustainable meat comes from animals which graze on land where crops can't grow, or fed with scraps from other activities (like kitchen scraps) which is where/how they traditionally were grown. What you want now is pasture fed meat, from whatever animal. Even if they graze on land where crops could grow, they're actually better for the land than annual crops are, in terms of soil management. Look on eatwild.com for a local supplier. Whole foods often has pastured meat.
Fish are not easily counted, and most fisheries have terrible management. Avoid fish.

To produce a pound of beef, you need to use lots of corns to feed in comparison to produce one pound of tilapia.
Why? US farmed tilapia eat corn and stuff. Nothing wrong with them.
Stuff? They are flavorless, and they have an unappetizing texture. Wait... that sounds a lot like tofu. There are many vegetable sources of protein that are a lot better than toilet trout.
