The word fish.
That is actually debatable. Though you can use "fish" for both the singular and plural forms, "fishes" is not incorrect. But words that do not change in plural applications and are NOT debatable are "deer" and "moose".
Let's clarify a bit. Fish AND fishes are correct. Let me explain. You might say "I have one fish in my aquarium." or "I have two fish in my aquarium." So, when would you use "fishes"? You would use that term to describe the different types in the oceans. You would say "Of all the fishes in the ocean, the Blue Whale smells the best." If you had used "Of all the fish in the ocean, the Blue Whale smells the best.", you would be implying there was only one Blue Whale whereas in the first example, you are saying that of all species of fish, the species of Blue Whale smell the best.
The same can be said for "People" and "Peoples". "Of all the peoples in the world, the Eskimos are the coolest."
And for the record, I'm not sure the blue Whale smells any better than any other fish.
