I've had more time to look around. If you add the following to the file 
~/.config/fish/config.fish (create it if you haven't already got one), 
then things should work as intended:

if status --is-login
	set PATH /usr/local/bin /usr/bin $PATH
end

Alternatively drop it in the fish global startup file, 
/usr/share/fish/config.fish. Konrad, would you consider adding the above 
fragment to config.fish in the next release? That should bring fish into 
line with the other shells*. You might also consider adding some of the 
other environment variables like PRINTER etc etc.


Thanks,

Dave.

* FYI
Bash gets /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin prefixed to its path by 
/etc/profile (supplied by base-files)
mksh and posh also use /etc/profile
tcsh gets these prefixed by /etc/csh.login (supplied by tcsh)
zsh uses /etc/zprofile (supplied by zsh)
