Best Answer

Fishy means suspicious. The image is of you smelling a strong odor -- you can sense that something is there, but you can't see it yet.

Example:

You get an email saying some guy in Nigeria will send you a fortune if you send him money first. You say "There's something fishy about this!"

Something is suspicious. It's referring to the strong fishy odor, which you can sense even if everything else seems to be fine.
This idiomatic expression means that a statement contains a doubt factor and that the believe of that statement is not 100% worth believing.
