The usage varies with location. In general, 'Pilchards', or 'sardines' are common names for several genera of fish that belong to the herring family. It is not used in the same manner as 'kipper', which refers to the fish after it has undergone a certain kind of food preparation treatment.

One example is the European Pilchard, which belongs to the genus Sardina, and can be called either, both while it is swimming in the sea, or in a tin at the supermarket.
