There are many older recipes that require 'isinglass'. Luckily, one can find some at a local home brewery or winery store (I hope, I still have to go see). A simple search helped me find a great site called Food Hacks that gave me what looks like a pretty concise rundown; it's where I discovered that I can still buy the stuff.
Basically isinglass is what was replaced by gelatines and is still used for 'fining' or clarifying alcohols during the brewing process. Hence, the reason why the Food Hacks article is titled: Isinglass (Or Why Your Guinness Has Fish in It)
