Was anyone else ill?
Interested to know where the flight originated - you could have picked something up before boarding?

Was the fish undercooked or smelly in an unexpected way ?

I'm always more suspicious of rice - one of the biggest causes of food poisoning (specially when reheated)

One can get symptoms of food poisoning very quickly - I recall getting symptoms within 20 minutes, didn't really kick in for about 4 hours.

Finally, waking with stomach cramp and nausea on a plane is not uncommon - eating a big meal and then sitting in a cramped hot cabin doesn't aid healthy digestion.
