A rare phenomenon where fish are transported by whirlwinds, waterspouts, or floods and fall from the sky onto land.
Compound of 'fish' (Old English 'fisc') and 'fall' (Old English 'feallan', meaning to drop or descend). This term describes an actual meteorological event documented since ancient times.
Fishfalls sound like mythology but they're real — waterspouts can vacuum fish from water and deposit them miles away, and this happened so frequently in some regions that medieval people incorporated them into religious narratives as divine signs, but modern meteorologists confirm the physics completely.
