After several subsequent sorties I am starting to realize a pattern that may or may not be related to getting fishes, but that's just a guesswork on my part by pure (unreliable) intuition. They usually drop at the moment I get uncommon drops at the designated nodes. No drops almost equals no fish.

In 1-5, S-rank the boss node -> Get Iku -> she also comes with a fish. In 3-3, get some uncommon drops (e.g. Maikaze/Fusou) -> there's a chance that they have fishes. However I am not a statistics person, someone will have to do that to see whether there really is a correlation or not.
