What's up with this phrase? It's so weird. Why is something...fishy? Why not...mammal-y? I don't know. Is it because fish smell funny or something?

Yes, it's because of the smell, or the "slipperiness"

Yes, you are correct - it is because of the smell - it is usually "something smells fishy"

Fish swim around, in and around things...We don't swim in water all our life like fish do, we sneek, walk, run...etc...don't you sneek, walk or run in and around things too? "Being Fishy!" Hope that makes sense to ya!
