Yor are correct to use "el pescado" in the singular. In English we might say "Fish is good", but in Spanish it sounds better to use "delicious": "el pescado es delicioso" or "el pescado es sabroso". Or - "el pescado es bueno para la salud" - "fish is good for one's health".
Why don't you do a web search on "collective nouns in Spanish"?
