  Which one is better? and Why?¶
  ¶
  NOTE: If there is ONE (i.e., a SINGLE) fish, then you use the word "it". If there are two or more fish, then you use the word "them". ¶
  ¶
  OR just use the word "fish", which is singular OR plural depending on the context in which it is used.

- Isn’t ”some” plural?¶
  ¶
  NOTE: "Some" implies multiple fish, yes; however it does not necessarily mean you will prepare multiple fish. You might decide to cook only a single fish because the fish are very large, correct? Understand?

- Isn’t ”some” plural?¶
  NB. The phrase 'some fish' implies either more than one fish or part of a larger fish (if you bought 2 steaks, for example, you could say 'I have some meat'). Both answers are correct.

- Why the answer is ”it”?¶
  ¶
  If the book prescribed that the correct answer is "it", then the assumption is (most logically) you are preparing (cooking) a single fish, not two or more fish.¶
  ¶
  NOTE: Yes, one could refer to the preparation of multiple fish as "it" but it is not logical and even confusing to English learners. textbooks that present/instruct in this fashion are not very effective English-language learning tools/guides. in fact they are terrible.
