What is a FISH file?

FISH files mostly belong to Fish shell. Fish Shell Script: Certain FISH files are plain text command scripts for the Fish shell. You can open these with any text editor or run them in a terminal using the Fish shell.

Game Save / Image File: Other FISH files are structured as a ZIP container holding data in a PNG image format. These serve as save files for Pro Cycling Manager. To inspect such files, try an archive tool to look inside the compressed data.

Game Engine Data File: A different usage assigns the FISH extension to Xenko game engine data files, sometimes linked with FMOD Studio. These files contain binary data used in game development and require specialized tools to open them.
