We got a 2 year old rescue cat about 6 months ago. She was originally fed on Felix but when I did a bit of research I wasn't happy giving her such low quality food. So I bought a few different things from Zooplus - Bovita, which she loved at first but now will only lick off the jelly/sauce, Animonda Carny, which again she loved at first but now won't eat, and Smilla, which she will sometimes eat small portion of but not much at all.
I buy good quality grain free dry food from our local pet shop but I am worried about her kidneys/general health with not eating much wet food.
The only food she goes nuts for is the tuna/fish ones from Smilla but I've read that its not good to give them too much fish so I stopped buying those.
I would really appreciate any advice - thanks!

I've got the cat that won't touch Thrive wet food. He is incredibly, stupidly fussy. He'll usually eat Applaws wet tuna, or tuna/seaweed, but even then can turn up his nose some days for no reason at all. He always has dry food available so I don't worry, but it does sometimes irritate me that sometimes he turns his nose up at food he has eaten previously for no obvious reason. He can also tell if the tin has been open for more than an hour, even when stored with a lid in in the fridge partner brings it back up to room temperature before offering it up but I am less obliging and he won't touch it. Luckily girlcat is less fussy so I let them both stay 
I love how other people on here cater to their feline overlords as obediently as I do

Cats are carnivores and are supposed to eat a high meat, high protein. Most of the mainstream pet food brands available in the supermarket have a shockingly low meat content (as low as 4%). You don't necessarily need organic food but you do need to get as high a meat content as possible. Preferably grain-free too.

Our cats mostly eat Orijen dry food which they've always liked. We just give them a bit of wet food to entice them in at dinner time (as we keep them inside at night)
