To marinate the fish: Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, honey, seafood seasoning, hot pepper sauce, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl until blended. Place tilapia in a shallow dish; pour marinade over fish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
