| Both herring and sardine, arguably |

| Yep, I'd say "herrings" and "sardines". |

| Trout plural is still trout... correct? |

| I think it's ridiculous that some species of fish are entitled to a distinct plural form but not others. This discrimination must stop before disaffected herring/herrings commit suicide. |

| I don't think you can pluralise any of those fish! It's all sheeps and mouses to me. |

| I think you'll find, Geoff, that wikipedia along with many other sources state that herring can be made plural by adding an 's'. Kind regards. |
