Do fish think land is heaven

No, they think it's space.

The main difference between swimming and flying is basically just how compressible the fluid you're moving through is, so it's not that different really. Although I guess you can fly through space so my attempt to sound clever kind of falls through, huh?

you're mostly right !

you can fly through space, but not like a bird flies through air or sharks swim in water; "swimming" in space is way weirder.

I can't find it, but there's a video on PBS Space Time where they talk about how that could work

I understand not wanting to go 100% weird with most people, but damnit weird is interesting. So be a bit weird.
