pilchard
Canned oily fish
A pilchard is a small, oily fish related to herrings and sardines, found in coastal waters of Europe and elsewhere.
The term overlaps considerably with sardine—pilchard often refers to the same fish when larger or when canned in certain regions: Cornish pilchards have protected status in the EU.
The distinction between pilchard and sardine varies by country and commercial convention.
