Hello and welcome to HCM,
Vomiting and diarrhoea after taking canned fish is suggestive of food poisoning.
The canned food can cause poisoning when it is old and stale.
The manufacturing date and the time period before which the food product is best for consumption should always be checked before consuming and food item.
In this situation you need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of relevant antibiotic if required.
In the meanwhile, hydration should be maintained.
Thus, continue taking plenty of fluids and light food to maintain nutrition and nutrition.
Thanks and take care
