Hi dmsaruman,correctly, the sentence should read,
"Yesterday, I had (ate) two fish for supper."
Fish is both a plural and singular noun.

I wouldn't put the comma in, Akasaka.Hi dmsaruman,
Thanks for your advice.
By the way, is the comma after "Yesterday" a must?
Thanks, Dimcl, for your feedback.I wouldn't put the comma in, Akasaka.
Why is that, Nzfauna? What's different about the word "yesterday" that requires a comma after it?There should be a comma after yesterday, if yesterday appears at the beginning of a sentence.
I'm lost... why is it an introductory word? It's a description of when he ate the fish ie:It's not different. It's the same as other introductory words, like:
However, xxxx
Nevertheless, xxxx
Separately, xxxx
On 12 June, xxxx
Reportedly, xxxx
I've been accused of being "comma happy" many times but this is honestly the first time I've heard this!Yep, probably. However, I would much more frequently put these time marker at the end of the utterance. Proably just a stylistic thing.
