Baccalà alla lucana is a traditional Italian cod dish.
History Baccalà is a fundamental seafood dish for residents of Basilicata, being a hilly area far from the sea. Shelf-stable and easy to transport, it is a preferred alternative to meat-based dishes.
Preparation Baccalà alla lucana is made with peperoni cruschi, or crispy pepper from Basilicata, and seasoned with oil and parsley. A less popular variant is made with oil- or vinegar-dressed peperoni.
Popularity On the last weekend of every August, Avigliano hosts a sagra for baccalà alla lucana.
