I'm not sure if it should fall here, or be a separate issue: projectile-find-file seems to trying local shell in TRAMP buffers, and as a result showing something like /bin/sh: 693: /usr/bin/fish: not found as a file name.

For additional info, I didn't customize my shell-file-name, emacs took it from system's environment.

Doing something like M-: (setq shell-file-name "/bin/bash") (e.g. shell which exist on remote server) fixes projectile-find-file.
I also wonder if it might be some kind of a TRAMP bug and should be reported to emacs developers.

I'm experiencing similar problem
when my config contains following setting:
(setq shell-command-switch "-ic")
helm-projectile-find-file fails with following error:

In ‘Projectile files’ source:[helm-current-buffer projectile-project-p buffer-live-p projectile-project-root projectile-current-project-files nil expand-file-name] 8]’ (file-error "Setting current directory" "No such file or directory" "/home/user/git/myProject/bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell

shell-file-name is set to "/bin/bash"
