The spelling 'fish' can be both singular and the plural (One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish... to quote Dr. Seuss).
Examples:
Plural: Look at all the fish.
Singular: I caught one fish.
But the plural fishes can be used when referring to more than one type of fish.
--
For types of fish, the same applies, where the plural of trout may be trout or trouts, and the plural of bass may be bass or basses.

Examples:Mr. Brown's house, or the plural: the Browns' house.Ms. Bass's house, or the plural: the Basses' house.Mr. Cruz's house, or the plural: the Cruzes' house.Since surnames do not have irregular plural forms, a plural surname will always end with an -s; the plural possessive form will always end with -'s.
