All I see is logs for pre-boot fsck, but not forced fsck via the fsck option in the recovery menu.

This is not a duplicate of Where are fsck results logged at boot time, after /forcefsck?. It mentions pre-boot fsck, not this situation where I go into recovery mode to initiate a fsck manually. I use Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, so any solutions that apply to upstart won't help either.

There won't be any, if there is filesystem damage at boot, there won't be any filesystem mounted to write the log in yet. Writing a log can make any damage worse.
