Sea Bass, Squid & Shrimp Stew Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 20, 2026
A fish-based canned stew for adult cats, this formula uses sea bass, cod, tuna, herring, squid, and shrimp as its main protein sources. It is relatively high in moisture with moderate protein for a wet food, and includes herring oil to supply omega-3 fatty acids. The recipe is designed as a complete and balanced maintenance diet for adult cats that do well on seafood-focused meals.
This is a high-quality, seafood-focused wet food for adult cats, with multiple named fish and shellfish as primary ingredients and added omega-3s from herring oil. It’s formulated to be complete and balanced for maintenance and should work well for most healthy adult cats that enjoy or require fish-based diets. The main nutritional caveat is its relatively low fat content for a feline diet and the heavy reliance on multiple fish proteins, which won’t suit every cat long term or those with fish allergies.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple named animal proteins (sea bass, cod, tuna, herring, squid, shrimp) provide a rich amino acid profile and good-quality protein sources.
- Includes herring oil, which is a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids that can support skin, coat, and overall health.
- Complete and balanced for adult maintenance according to AAFCO, so it can be fed as a sole diet for adult cats.
- Very high moisture content helps support hydration, which is particularly helpful for cats that don’t drink much water.
Considerations
- Protein level is moderate and fat is on the low side for a feline diet, so very active or underweight cats may need higher-calorie options or careful portion adjustments.
- Contains several different fish and shellfish proteins, so it is not a true limited-ingredient or single-protein option and is not suitable for cats with fish allergies.
- Fish-heavy diets can be very palatable but may not be ideal as the only protein source for every cat over many years; many cats do well rotating with non-fish recipes.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Sea Bass
Sea bass is used in pet foods as a lean, palatable animal protein and a source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) plus minerals like selenium and iodine, which support skin and coat health and help modulate inflammation in both dogs and cats. It can be a useful alternative protein for pets with sensitivities, but owners should pay attention to species and sourcing because some sea bass can accumulate mercury and other contaminants, and ensure bones are removed or the fish is properly processed to avoid choking or gastrointestinal injury.
02
Cod
Cod is a lean white fish used in pet foods as a high-quality, easily digestible animal protein that provides essential amino acids, B vitamins (notably B12), selenium and modest amounts of omega‑3 fatty acids for skin, coat and overall health. It is palatable and low in fat, but should be properly deboned and sourced; avoid feeding raw fish without appropriate processing (some raw fish can contain enzymes that affect thiamine) and monitor for fish allergies or contaminants such as mercury.
03
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.
04
Herring
Herring is commonly used as a high-quality, palatable fish protein and oil source in dog and cat foods, supplying digestible protein along with beneficial long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA), vitamin D, B vitamins and trace minerals. It can support skin, coat and joint health, but may be an allergen for some pets and raw fish can contain thiaminase (typically destroyed by commercial cooking); owners should also consider fat content for pancreatitis-prone animals and look for responsibly sourced, low-contaminant products.
05
Squid
Squid is used in pet foods as a novel animal protein and flavorful seafood ingredient, supplying highly digestible protein, taurine (important for cats), and marine fatty acids plus minerals that can support skin, coat and overall nutrition. It is palatable and nutrient-dense but can trigger seafood allergies in some pets and may carry risks if poorly handled (histamine, parasites or contaminants), so it should be sourced and processed safely and used with caution in animals with known sensitivities or certain metabolic conditions.
