What is your definition of "ease of digestion"? Assuming a similar amount is ingested (how much in a can of sardines?) and similar types of fish in terms of fat and calorie content, then there should be no significant difference in how the GI tract will process these two examples.
There are 16 grams of fat in 4 oz of salmon and 9 in a small can of sardines. The more fat, the longer the digestive process will take. It’s that easy.
