automatic start fish shell in terminal window

Question

I would like to have separate shortcut at my desktop just for the fish shell,

Having a command like that does not start a window with fish shell :

gnome-terminal fish

If there is no solution for gnome-terminal , there could be any other window terminal emulator ....

NOTE : I DO NOT WANT TO SET fish as my default shell !

1. Create a new text file on your desktop with these contents:

   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=Fish Shell
   Exec=fish
   Terminal=true
   Type=Application
   Version=1.0
   

2. Save the file as fish.desktop (in your Desktop).

3. Mark it as executable.

4. Double click on the "Fish Shell" file on your Desktop to run the fish shell.
