Alright, so "fishily" is actually an adverb that describes something that seems a bit suspicious or not quite right, kind of like a fishy situation. You know how sometimes when you smell something off and you think, "Hmm, something seems fishy here"? That's the same idea when we use "fishily." It's like a little red flag that something might not be totally honest or straightforward.

Let me give you an example to make it clearer. Let's say you and your friends are planning a surprise party for someone, but that person keeps asking weird questions about what's going on. You might say, "Hmm, it's starting to feel a bit fishily, like maybe they suspect something." See how it's like a little suspicion in the air? That's what "fishily" is all about.

So basically, when we use the word "fishily," we're talking about something that has an air of suspicion or strangeness around it. It's like when you smell something off and you're not quite sure if it's okay. And that's "fishily" for you!
