What is the lore behind Gummy Fishstick in Fortnite?
Gummy Fishstick is a variant (snapshot) of the original Fishstick. Unlike his counterpart (who is based on an actual fish), Gummy Fishstick has been fashioned out of gummies. It's unclear how this came to be, but given that Fishstick has been used as comic relief over the years, having a gummy version makes sense. It fits right into things in the best possible way.
Coming to the lore aspect of the character, there is not much going on. Aside from him being a variant (snapshot) of Fishstick there is nothing else to go on. It is unclear how this version of the character even came to be. It is speculated that there could be a reality in which all characters are made of gummies. That is the only explanation as to why Gummy Fishstick exists. His official description reads, "The ocean's chewiest hero."
Given everything, it's clear to see that this character plays no role in the grand scheme of things aside from being a cosmetic that players can use. Without a backstory in place, there is also no way of knowing what exactly they are doing in the current reality that's in place. Epic Games may expand upon things in the future and perhaps even add more gummies to the game, but for now, there is nothing else to go on for the time being.
