The ones with "ventresca" have one of the best cuts from true tuna, its considered a delicacy in Portugal, Spain and France and rightly so, the meat comes from near the belly of the fish, its firm and at the same time very juicy and full of flavour, it wont crumble when you chew it and it wont be dry, it goes very well with sliced tomato, pinch of salt and oregano and a speckle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
A 120 grams can can go up to 10€ alone, its high quality stuff.

So far I've been enjoying Nuri/Mabuti and from what I've seen, the names are only a way for distinguishing different markets, can and content are basically the same.
I started with Season Sardines and while the texture was pretty good, taste overall was bland.

>sprats are not deenz. they're an entirely different species
This anon is correct.

Brisling sardines are actually sprats.

In Britain - Pilchards are fully grown sardines but many Med countries just call them sardines anyway.
Brisling sardines (or sprats) are more like small herrings.

TL;DR Sprats (brisling sardine) and Sardines are different fish.

In a real food pyramid the lower down the more you are supposed to have in your diet, and the higher up you go the less you should have.
