I recently got an adult map turtle. it eats the koi food I feed my koi. is that bad?

I am getting some real turtle food this weekend, but it really seems to like the fish food. should I not let it have any?

No thats normal turtles can eat fish food, but when they are older you need to switch to pellets ,veggies and fruits

No, that's not an appropriate food.

Their care is similar to RES and painted turtles so check out this site:
