Criterion.

Yes.
Criterion is the singular. Criteria is the plural.

Lots of people get that one wrong.

I knew it wasn't criteria, but couldn't remember the singular

surely hot, sunny and with fish is more than one?
and thus criteria is correct?

but I said criteria
when discussing the first two things and then the third was an afterthought and so it fitted into the sentence as a single criterian. If you replace criteria/on with cat/s it works.
