Simplest answer would be to launch Fish as the last step in your bash profile.
I imagine the SteamOS update process probably needs the default system shell to be bash, (if they're changing it with each update) but that won't stop you from getting the benefits of Fish during your login terminal sessions.
Source: I don't like bash much, but have encountered other cases where changing the default shell was too invasive. It's about an 80% solution, and the next 15% is covered well enough by invoking my preferred shell before invoking my script written for my preferred shell.
