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.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!    Pat Brennan  Brevard, NC

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
