:-) That is why I start with ssh server at installation. It means that I can use fish from the get-go. But there was a problem with my husband's computer (Supplier. It's a long story) and it was an 80th birthday present. It was meant to be fully set up before he got back from a trip, but because of the problems I had barely installed the OS and the DE, so had to minimise the time spent on anything else. He has not long been back. But I shall get access and then ..... Come to think of it, I could have used fish anyway. I generally install ssh server _and_ client before trying to use either, but I should not be so hide bound.
