There's not much you can do other than rewrite the bash file to a fish file.

I had a similar problem and I looked into adding fish to environment
modules, which is available in most operating system repositories (and used
in Fedora for switching between different MPI software):

However I couldn't quite get it to work (fish does not colon delimit
paths), which was a shame.
