Annotation:

This doesn't mean that you like to eat salmon, but that you like looking at or fishing for salmon.

Compare with the following which means salmon is your favorite fish to eat.

[#5073753] My favorite fish is salmon. (CK)


Note that when followed by "are" the word "fish" is being used as a plural noun. In the second version, in which "fish" is followed by "is", it's being used as a non-countable noun and is being used the same way "meat" is used as as non-countable noun.
