Thank you, this was the solution!

I expected that replacing the quasi-quote by a normal quote would also do, but apparently no, as it gives the same 
error as before. And after I changed "#~" by ",#~" as you suggested, "#$(file-append fish 
"/bin/fish")" started throwing a different error.

But this now works so it's good enough for me:
