I was under the impression these things happened around the world due to typhoon like systems or water spouts. My mom however just tried to convince me that she read somewhere the fish eggs get sucked up into the clouds somehow with the evaporating water and hatch in the clouds.
I'm still wiping the tears from my laughter away. Good one mom, but at this point I suppose it's a good an explanation as any.

That would be unlikely, the "reports" everywhere shows and report full sized fish... Even if the egg would hatch in the cloud the fish would need to stay there several months to grow full size, have food to support growth and finally I doubt gravity would agree with this...

Correct!

I'd like to think that a true divine miracle worker attempting to feed the poor wouldn't leave their gift of food lying on the unsanitary ground, unrefrigerated and prone to being picked at by scavenging animals, but that's just me.

The ocean where they come from is also unsanitary. Once you wash them and clean them they are perfect. Oh, and cooking them also kills anything left over. You can learn something new every day!

What about Japan's radioactive pollution, and all the mercury and lead in the waters poisoning the fish? Cooking can't eliminate that.

Well, if it's a miracle those fish came down by divine providence, I'm sure they wouldn't be radioactive. And Japan is far away, very far away from there. We eat fish here in Washington state from coastal waters and they aren't radioactive.

I experienced a "frog fall" in the desert, once ... and it was (likely) not a passing water spout! Why would a spout scoop up only one species and leave no other debris?
