It seems that every shell you run is a login shell. Bash reads and executes the ~/.bashrc file only if it is started as an interactive, but not login shell. When Bash starts as an interactive login shell, it reads and executes the ~/.bash_profile file. What you could do is to source the ~/.bashrc file from the ~/.bash_profile file. Something like this:
# .bash_profile
# sourcing .bashrc:
. ~/.bashrc
this way every interactive shell you start will read and execute the ~/.bashrc file, be it a loging shell or not.

NAME
fish - fish - the friendly interactive shell
fish - the friendly interactive shell
Synopsis
fish [-h] [-v] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]
Description
A commandline shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The full manual is available in html by using the help command from inside
fish.
o -c or --command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline
o -d or --debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.
o -h or --help display help and exit
o -i or --interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode
o -l or --login specify that fish is to run as a login shell
o -n or --no-execute do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking
o -p or --profile=PROFILE_FILE when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file
o -v or --version display version and exit
The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit
status is 127.
