He is sometimes compared to Peter Gabriel, lead singer of Genesis in the 1970s. Many of his later works contain lengthy spoken word passages with the music acting as background. Shorter examples of such passages can be found in his Marillion works.

Following a legal dispute with EMI and an unsuccessful contract with Polydor, Fish established the Dick Bros Record Company in 1993. He released a number of 'official bootleg' albums to finance the company. After selling the company to Roadrunner Records, another unsuccessful period followed before he re-established his own Chocolate Frog record label in 2001. In 2005 Fish signed with Snapper for the back catalog. He has a small but loyal fan base, commonly referred to as Fishheads, many of whom contribute to several online fan forums and travel from all over the world to attend his bi-annual fan club conventions.
