Fish is correct for most uses. One fish or two fish, it's always fish.
BUT, technically if you have different types of fish they are fishes. Two cod are two fish, but one cod and one bass are two fishes. You rarely see this used outside of scientific articles though. Almost everyone just uses fish for singular and plural in all cases.
