Oh! I am sorry. My sentence was,'I wouldn't eat fish, unless I was extremely hungry.'. Is it unreal condition?

I wouldn't eat fish, unless I were extremely hungry.
It is not unreal; it is just improbable or hypothetical. It is a Conditional II sentence. Only Conditional III is really unreal: it states something that did not happen: I wouldn't have eaten fish unless I had been extremely hungry. (What 'didn't happen', of course, in your negative sentence, is the 'not eating of fish'
