Fish’s strength is in having good defaults that makes it work well out of the box. Fish’s downside is not being POSIX compatible [1] though its creators would argue they deliberately avoided POSIX weaknesses.

If you already have Zsh configured well then Fish probably wouldn’t offer a huge advantage.

For a good default config of zsh I highly recommend oh-my-zsh[0]. I've been using it for years and it's amazing.
