AFAIK there is no longer such a thing. I am not really following fish development, but recently I received github email with comment to one of my issues (https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1257#issuecomment-120921485) and it contains, literally:

> @zanchey is this still slated for 3.0 or might we see 2.3, now that 2.2 is out and fishd is out of the picture (I'm not sure how the fishd.${HOST} file fits in now with fishd gone).

Highlight: “now with fishd gone”.

I failed to find GH issue that describes fishd death, but commit log shows that the death starts with https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/commit/6a94b51cbadb8609580fac5c693c02ca4ab39734 (which is in 2.2 release).
