Bacalhau doesn't have to be salted to be 'bacalhau'.  Bacalhau is "Cod".  It 
can be fresh or salted.  With regard to the cold dish that Steve was speaking 
of, my relatives really do (did) refer to it as just bacalhau.  The equivalent 
scenario in English I suppose would be to call "Fettuccine Alfredo" simply, 
"Pasta".  

I just called my Grandmother to ask what the specialized name of the dish was 
(beyond bacalhau), and it translates as "Cold Sauce".  She couldn't spell the 
second part of it, but Molho is definitely the first word.  That lends a bit of 
creedence to what Eric's saying below about Molho Escabeche, although the 
second word didn't sound exactly like escabeche.  

We're talking about the same thing here though, as far as the cold dish with 
cod, onions, and vinegar.

  Bacalhau is the salted codfish. There are hundreds of recipes for it. An 
accomplished Portuguese chef knows 365 recipes, one for everyday of the year.

  The Molho Escabeche  can be used on any fish, whether it's rehydrated 
bacalau, raw fresh fish, fried fish, baked broiled or grilled.

      Steve, that'd be bacalhau.  There are heated and cold variations out 
there.

      My mother and ava used to make a cold fish dish of white fish,
      vinegar, raw onions, and saffron.  Has anyone else had that in their
      family?  i cant find it on the Internet anywhere.  I am wondering if
      it is a dish my grandmother made up.
