Cats stomachs can be quite sensitive to new foods - hence the vomit and/or diarrhea.
If they've already reacted to it, then I wouldn't try them on it again, just complain to the manufacturer and try and get your money back.
My vet said that, as a general rule, if you do introduce new foods into a cats diet then you should mix it with the food your cat normally eats, to allow it's stomach to adjust if necessary.

It's a matter of personal taste for the cat. My too think the Whiskas "Oh So Fishy" is OK, but I've not had either throw up from it as a result. However, Felix "As Good as It Looks" tells a different story. That involved cat sick all over the bed spread and the duvet under - as I'd been away for a couple of days, the cat sitter hadn't noticed, so I came back to a lovely mess of dried cat sick. Oh, well - c'est la vie.
I'm wondering if these new cat foods are much richer than the normal cat food, which is why they're throwing up on it - they're not used to it!
Also, try interspersing it with other brands / flavours, etc. One thing is for sure - if you don't give your cat the variety it craves in its diet, it'll get very bored, very, very quickly, and then you'll start having even more trouble!

Is he OK with Iams??? I found that Iams and Autaki were good for my cat with a sensitive tum; I once made the mistake of trying him on tuna and everybody within a 2-mile radius got some.......

Mine loved it, she ate every single bit yesterday, though there was a bit of a runny poo in the bathroom this morning from her, so Im guessing its was a bit too fishy for her!
I got it as a free sample, so wont be buying it again.

If you are talking about your cat, then don't feed that crap to it again. Go for the dry stuff and see if it likes it. If not then try other brands, maybe the moist stuff. Buy a few different varities and see what works best with your (cat?)

My cats don't eat wet food at all, they are always sick and get the skits if they eat wet food. I feed them IAMS or James Wellbeloved, it seems to work in that they are healthy and great coats, the vet praises them for their health. I think the wet foods are fattening and full of nasty bits of animals that people don't want to eat!

It's fishy that so many people on Yahoo! Answers don't even know how to ask a question!
