When a queen is 'fishy,' she's passing so convincingly as a cis woman that you'd never clock her. It's praise — 'serving fish' means the illusion is airtight, the femininity undeniable. The term itself is a blunt anatomical reference, but in the scene it lands as a compliment.
“No beard, no contour seams, nothing — she was serving pure fish all night.”
