Sardinella is the genus name for the group of fish species we call sardines. I expect, being Lidl, the tin is made for the European market rather than specifically UK. According to Google Sardinella is the Italian for Sardine (not suprisingly) so is the tin Italian?

Spanish? It's an optional language in the Philippines. Quote:
Round sardinella (gilt sardine, Spanish sardine)

I am Italian, sardine is sardina in my language, I don't think it is an italian product that's why I wanted to clarify that.
Sorry if I sounded pedantic. ![]() I guess sardines are named after Sardinia? Or is the island named after the fish? |

Are you sure? You're going against the Great God Google here!

Well, I have always called a sardine "sardina", "sardinella" sounds new to me.
