Check the pan under the refrigerator. That happened to me in my first apartment and I about went nuts trying to find the smell.

Leather, when damp can smell like fish as can raw silk. Are there some drapes or furniture original to the home that may have gotten damp?
I don't know about the wiring...I don't see how that would work, but who knows.

i don't know anything about old wiring smelling like fish. but i do know that if a girl doesn't wash her *** everyday it probably will smell like fish.

It could be your pipes especially your kitchen pipes i would try running something like drano in them and then hot water for about 15 mins.
