Either one. (one fish, three fish) The fishmonger&#39;s fish is / are fresh. Plural is most likely. Singular might work if he&#39;s holding up one fish. In a restaurant you might ask, &quot;Is the fish fresh,&quot; referring to their &quot;supply&quot; of fish, not necessarily the one you might order. P/s: He sells the fish are fresh. (correct?) No. &quot;fish&quot; is both the direct object of the first clause and the subject of the second. We could fix it with a pronoun. &quot;When he sells the fish, they are fresh.&quot; He sells only fresh fish.http://www.englishforums.com/English/FishIsAre/wdgvx/post.htm#684729Mon, 09 Mar 2009 10:55:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:684729askshameer1http://www.englishforums.com/English/FishIsAre/wdgvx/post.htm#684729http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-684729.xmlIf you are talking about more than one fish of the same species it&#39;s &quot;fish&quot; if you are talking about more than one species of fish then it&#39;s &quot;fishes&quot; So All these sentences are valid: The fish is fresh.
