I didn't know, so I googled the question, and found this article title: "Pukalide, a widely distributed octocoral diterpenoid, induces vomiting in fish"
I still don't know what it takes to induce it, but I conclude that yes, fish CAN vomit.

That's OK, the Bible says it was a "great fish", not a whale... so no need to worry about classification here.

Maybe it was a translation error. Or just the fact that over 2000 years ago no one knew a Whale was a mammal (or anything was a mammal). (or it was actually Cthulhu)

I looked at several translations... "big fish", "great fish", "very big fish", "large fish", "grand poisson"... and most commentators agree that it cannot have been a whale, as they do not usually find their way into the Mediterranean, nor are they capable of swallowing something as big as a man. On the other hand, some sharks can, as can dog fish (carcharias). So a great fish is just that, a great fish, not a whale mistranslated.
And I have it on good authority that the big fish was called "Finnegan."

BTW, I am very glad to see that there is a way again to comment on the comics.
