To add to @migontech's answer and also his address his comment that you could "probably make it more generic", here's a way to do it. The below will allow you to search by any property:

.filter('getByProperty', function() {
    return function(propertyName, propertyValue, collection) {
        var i=0, len=collection.length;
        for (; i

The call to filter would then become:

var found = $filter('getByProperty')('id', fish_id, $scope.fish);

Note, I removed the unary(+) operator to allow for string-based matches...
