Mishna Brurah 319:15 writes that even though the Taz argues on the Rama, most achronim agree with the Rama. So write's the Shabbos Kitchen (pg 87-88) that there's no borer when seperating indentical objects. </ref> | # If there’s a group of indentical items that group isn’t considered a mixture and may be separated without violating borer. <Ref> Rama 319:3 rules that it's permissible to seperate peices of fish by the size since it's all one type of food.
