Poultry is not that terrible for the environment. I haven't seen any comparisons, but I wouldn't be surprised if chicken and fish have similar impact.

I saw this last year -

://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46459714

Claims that on average it's about 20% worse than farmed fish, and about 1/6 of the impact of beef.

I've not read the study to back it, but the article doesn't differentiate between sources of poultry. The environmental impact of factory farmed vs organic free range corn fed chicken may be vastly different
