Baccalà is Italian for dried salt cod, known in English as clipfish. Most baccalà dishes require that the fish be soaked numerous times to remove excess saltiness. It is the same word as Portuguese bacalhau, and Spanish bacalao, which are used in similar dishes. Disdain its name, the baccalà alla vicentina, a dish originary of Vicenza, is not made from salted cod.
