With that being said if any pet food has herring meal, whitefish meal etc. like Innova Evo or even Nature's Variety does there will be some of this in it. She said something about it being an import or export law that it has to contain it and even if the company tries to take it out there will always be traces of it left in the food.

My Storm has always been allergic to fish products so I've been trying to avoid foods that contain a lot of that in them. Unfortunately the grain free diets always have some,herring meal, in them so I can't avoid it entirely. The lady said that my Storm may actually be allergic to the ethoxyquin and not the fish.
TOTW has actually recently decided to use fish that is not preserved with ethoxyquin; So the food is now safe.
You're right, not many grain free foods don't have fish. Visa tends to go bald around the eyes if fed a food with fish, which tells me she doesn't do well on it.. She is on California Natural Lamb and Rice, and they just recently came out with a Venison formula that is grain free AND has no fish -- but now that P&G has bought the food I'm not sure if I can stick with it.. I'll have to see if they keep the quality that Natura did.
Tandem currently eats Acana Sport & Agility, but I think he was doing better on the Innova EVO RM so I might go back to that. The Acana is very expensive anyways.
