I skipped the fish.

UR type 1 {1,8} removes 1 and 8 from r3c8
skyscraper on 4 removes 4 from r6c7 and r4c2
xy-wing {1,7,8} removes 8 from r13c7 and r4c8
gets the grid to here.

Code:
.------------------.------------------.------------------.
| 178   5     17   | 2     3     6    |*147   9     1478 |
| 4     3     6    | 18    9     7    | 2    *18    5    |
| 178   2     9    | 18    5     4    |*167   67    3    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 9    *18    5    | 3     7     2    |*1468  146   148  |
| 2     6     17   | 5     4     8    | 3     17    9    |
| 3     478  *48   | 9     6     1    | 78    5     2    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 6     9    *48   | 47    2     3    | 5    147-8  1478 |
| 5     478   2    | 6     1     9    | 478   3     478  |
| 17    147   3    | 47    8     5    | 9     2     6    |
'------------------'------------------'------------------'

extended w-wing (1,8} group strong link on 1
(8=1)r2c8 - (1)r13c7 = (1)r4c7 - (1=8)r4c2 - (8)r6c3 = (8)r7c3; r7c8 <> 8

Code:
.------------------.------------------.------------------.
| 8     5    *17   | 2     3     6    | 147   9     147  |
| 4     3     6    | 1     9     7    | 2     8     5    |
|*17    2     9    | 8     5     4    |1-67  *67    3    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 9     18    5    | 3     7     2    | 1468  146   148  |
| 2     6    *17   | 5     4     8    | 3    *17    9    |
| 3     478   48   | 9     6     1    | 78    5     2    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 6     9     48   | 47    2     3    | 5     147   1478 |
| 5     478   2    | 6     1     9    | 478   3     478  |
| 17    147   3    | 47    8     5    | 9     2     6    |
'------------------'------------------'------------------'

(6=7)r3c8 - (7)r5c8 = (7)r5c3 - (7=1)r1c3 - (1)r3c1 = (1)r3c7; r3c7 <> 6
then
ER 8 removes 8 from r8c2

a mixed w-wing...(4=7)r1c9 - (7)r1c3 = (7)r5c3 - (7=1)r5c8 - (1=4)r4c8; r4c9 <> 4
w-wing off the skyscraper on 7's...(4=7)r7c4 - (7)r7c8 = (7)r5c8 - (7)r5c3 = (7)r1c3 - (7=4)r1c9; r7c9 <> 4

I started with a skyscraper 4,
xy-wing 178,
W-wing 18 with Transport,
Remote Pair 17 TOGETHER WITH Type1 UR 18 deletes <17> & <18> in r3c8,
kite 7 makes a deletion plus transport,
kite 8,
xy-wing478.

After completing this puzzle, I read the hint in the original post by Danny and realized that I made the noted deletion in step five, the kite 7, of my solution. Also, my first three steps were identical to steps 2 thru 4 by Norm, and I used the Type1 UR 18 in combination with a Remote Pair 17.

Another fun puzzle Danny......
