Baccaliegia -

Since the word does not exist, you have the rare power to define it. Here are three ways to introduce it into the lexicon:

Baccaliegia was a city of salt and glass perched where the sea met a folded desert, its streets braided with canals that sang at dawn.

The Preparation The magic of Baccalà lies not in the fish itself, but in the rigorous preparation. You cannot simply cook it straight from the market; it requires a three-day ritual of soaking and changing water to rehydrate the flesh and remove the curing salt.
