Certainly not a general rule.

This is just a feeling, but I think it's just like those non-countable
things like "water". And I can certainly imagine a cook going to the the
butcher's and order a specific number of {Duran lung DIrDu'} so he can
prepare a good dish of {Duran lung DIr}.

Isn't it in English as well that people eat "liver" (instead of
'livers'), no matter how many they have on their plate?
