There have been several occasions when strange things have rained from sky. Most common are frogs, fish and corn but there have been reports of baby alligators, jellyfish, eels and even a report from Japan of cows falling from the sky and sinking a fishing boat. All of these have been reliably documented apart from the cows, although all the fishermen on the boat tell the same convincing story.

About 10 years ago there was an occasion in Tasmania (southern Australia) when there had been a violent thunderstorm and in passing it deposited a white slime consisting of fish eggs and baby jellyfish.

These and similar instances of weird rain are the result of storms picking up objects from the seas and land which are then transported in the storm clouds before being deposited back to the ground in a differernt location. It's this same principle that sometimes leads to red rain. In some beliefs this is the blood of the Gods but it's actually much more boring than that, being nothing more than red dust picked up from elsewhere.

Not possible in the slightest, fish eggs couldn't be "hydrated" into the clouds, fish eggs couldn't hatch in the clouds and fish eggs couldn't survive being "hydrated" into the clouds.

Sounds like a fish story to me.

If you are referring to an actual instance of fish falling from the sky, then read this link to explain.
