Fish ingredient.

I'm looking and learning about ingrients in canned food.

Why why why is fish listed as an ingredient in some cans listed as beef or chicken.

Because fish smells strong and is highly appealing to many cats, so they might be more likely to eat a food with fish in it even if it isn't the main ingredient. That means more sales for the pet food company. Plus fishing industry leftovers are a cheap way to increase the protein content of commercial pet food. Shows you the importance of always reading the ingredient list.
