Well, the very same dictionary being quoted not only thinks that the plural of fry is fries, but also seems to think the plural of fish is fishes.
The latter is a rare archaic usage, for sure (just to avoid someone quoting the bible at me). In fact, so far as my failing eyes can determine, my OED doesn't even have that as an archaic usage.
But since Mike has made it plain he didn't intend "fry" in that sense, best to let this drop as Ann intended.
