Orijen Six Fish Grain-Free Dry Cat Food earns a best-in-class spot for grain-free salmon-focused shoppers because it packs a very high inclusion of fresh and whole fish (including salmon) and follows a biologically appropriate, high-protein WholePrey approach. Technically it delivers one of the highest omega‑3 and total protein profiles among salmon-forward formulas, and financially it offsets higher upfront cost by being nutrient-dense so many cats require smaller portions compared with lower‑quality kibbles. Against the other options on this list it stands out for ingredient diversity and premium processing rather than budget pricing.
