    Sardines in spicy tomato sauce are in the middle of Lidl this week.
    Never knew sardines were the same as pilchards.
    What is the difference, if any?

    Size of fish? Small ones are sardines, big ones are pilchards.

    Check out the Latin name on the ingredients - they're the same species.

    It seems to be the same for Red Salmon. The only ones I can find are John West at nearly £5 a can which I refuse to buy, the pink salmon seems to be short in supply too only the very large cans seem to be available in the own brand makes. Must be a thing with canned fish at the moment.

    They're back! After over a year looking for them, I found Glenryck pilchards in Tesco last week! £1.65/can (so 35p more expensive than 18 months ago).
