What is the difference between beach cliff fish steaks and sardines?

Beach cliff fish steaks are typically larger cuts of fish, often from species like tuna or salmon, canned in a variety of sauces, while sardines are smaller fish, usually of the herring family, canned whole or in pieces. Sardines are often packed in oil, water, or tomato sauce and have a distinct strong flavor. In contrast, beach cliff fish steaks offer a more mild taste and are often marketed as a ready-to-eat protein option. The preparation and presentation of each also differ significantly, with sardines often consumed directly from the can and fish steaks used in more diverse culinary applications.
