I know if that can help you a bit.

Here is something I tried to simulate for you.

Checkout the jsFiddle ;)

Created a filter that you also can use in 'ng-repeat'

app.filter('getById', function() {
  return function(input, id) {
    var i=0, len=input.length;
    for (; i<len; i++) {
      if (+input[i].id == +id) {
        return input[i];
      }
    }
    return null;
  }
});

Usage in controller:

app.controller('SomeController', ['$scope', '$filter', function($scope, $filter) {
     $scope.fish = [{category:'freshwater', id:'1', name: 'trout', more:'false'},  {category:'freshwater', id:'2', name:'bass', more:'false'}]

     $scope.showdetails = function(fish_id){
         var found = $filter('getById')($scope.fish, fish_id);
         console.log(found);
         $scope.selected = JSON.stringify(found);
     }
}]);

If there are any questions just let me know.
