That is simply incorrect. "Fish" can be either singular or plural. There is nothing wrong with "a fish" (so to speak). There is, however, a further plural; "fishes",
which refers to more than one species of fish, in the same way that "people" and "peoples" are both plurals with different meanings. It's the plural that English speakers often have trouble with.
Incidentally, you don't "do" a mistake in English, you "make" one. Same word in Russian, different in English.
