Ok, so it all depends on the context...
But let �s think about THIS context, in which teachers are teaching different types of Fruit (or Fruit? )
I was pretty sure that we cannot say "I like fruits" for example...I don �t know now...But it �s good to discuss topics like this one...

Trout sounds good - but what was your side dish? |

You could use trouts this way, but not meaning fish. The two old trouts gave me a big headache. All they did was talk all night long. |
