I believe fish glue comes from the air bladders of certain fish. Fish glue is used in the making of Asiatic horn bows but probably other applications. It must be a stronger glue than typical hide glue.
I use hide glue for sinew, rawhide and snake skins backings.

Isn't isinglass the same as fish glue(yes, it is I looked it up)
It's used to clarify wine and you can get it at you brew places. Used to be uesd to preserve eggs I think
