Bacalao

n. salted codfish (used in Spanish and Portuguese cooking); dish made with salted codefish cooked in tomato sauce and olives with garlic; grouper used as food fish in Cuba and south Florida in the USA (Zoology)

Bacalao (also spelled Bacalhau, Bachalaos, Bacalhaos, Baccalieu, Baccalar) was a phantom island depicted on several early 16th century maps. It is presumed to refer to Newfoundland. The name first appears on a map in 1508, but there are earlier accounts of Bacalao. Off the north-east tip of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, however, there is in fact a Baccalao Island.
