Some do and some don't. There are a number of fish in the open ocean that do not use shelter. It is probably due to the way they evolved and the fact that there isn't a lot of shelter in the open ocean. Just a lot of water. Many fish do seek out shelter, though it's usually called cover. Fish find places in the water like among or under water plants, around or under fallen trees, about or within rocks and caves or around or under structures. They do this so they can hide from predators or lurk while hunting for prey.
