Dear LLT

Why is it that people complain that the fish is fishy but no one complains that the chicken is chickeny or the beef is beefy?

That's easy,Mike!
1)because fish aren't mammals
and are allowed to be used as self-adjectives
whereas mammals require an adjective that is not the name of themselves.
This applies to people too.
