This is a playful, rarely-used word that demonstrates how English speakers can instantly create new adjectives by combining 'fish' with '-ify'—linguists call this 'productive' word formation, and it's why English speakers can coin new words like 'zombified' or 'Americanized' and everyone understands them.
