The idiom "a fish story" means any story that has been exaggerated. This has come from the fact that fishermen often told exaggerated tales, especially when they described the size of the fish that they claimed to have almost caught.

***

Years back in England, fish was considered the best food for monks and other religious folk. Meat was meant for the common people and the cheap kind of fish called herring for the poor. That led to the expression "neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring." This was used for something that was not suitable for any class of people.

Over the years the expression also included fowl and it became "neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herring". This was then shortened to "neither fish nor fowl". Now this idiom refers to something that cannot be classified or identified.

Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that in every cloud is an angel’s face.
