thread_title:  The name clipfish 

message: mainly salted cod produced as clipfish with  a left cut, Iceland and Faroes, and right cut in the rest of the world and salt filets. Saltfish is produced in Canada, Iceland , Faroes, Norway, Rusia, Germany, Danmark, Portugal and Spain. The most expensive salt fish (best quality)are produced in Iceland and Faroes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jochum (talk • contribs) 11:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I see that both in this page and in the Bacalhau page the word bacalhau is presented as the name for salt cod.
That is wrong, bacalhau is the Portuguese name for cod, either fresh (bacalhau fresco) or salted (bacalhau salgado).
As the page itself is a little confusing in that part of the text I refrained from correcting it, as I don't know how to make it sound good and be correct at the same time.
In my point of view all that part about the names should be removed, considering that it mixes the name for cod to that of salt fish.
Sorry if I am being a little confusing myself, but English is not my "mother tongue", but being Portuguese I know the names we use for cod and salt fish. --ArMaP (talk) 10:32, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a very important comment, bacalhau (pg), bacalao (sp) and its various romance language variations refer to the fish, in general as a species. There are specific phrases in those languages to refer to dried and salted cod product specifically. There are a bunch of wiki pages in other languages that point to the english article Bacalhau, when they should be pointing to this page. I'm going to go ahead an repoint a few here Furicorn (talk) 23:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portuguese name 

message: There are several errors here: "tørfisk" means stockfish and is Danish only (Norwegian: tørrfisk, Swedish: tørrfisk).  The spelling "klippfisk" is not Scandinavian in general, e.g. the Danish spelling is "klipfisk".  And "clipfish" does not look Scandinavian at all. -Tiramede (talk) 21:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

message: The reference for this is "Sanjuán, 2009" without a link. I can't imagine battering and deep-frying rehydrated cod, as it breaks up into little pieces, at least the type I'm familiar with.  I suppose with care you could keep it in one piece but I don't think you could handle it that much.  --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "battered deep-fried pieces" 

message: A descriptive name should include both salt and dried because fish preserved with salt is not necessarily dry. Should not be confused with stockfish which is dried without salt, the stockfish process is only possible at low temperatures (around 0 C) and constant wind as found in Lofoten and other islands on the northern coast. And it is not necessarily made from cod, haddock and ling can also be used along with other fish from the cod family (Gadidae). The Norwegian name klippfisk means fish dried on cliffs or more precisely rock or roche moutonnée, svaberg in modern Norwegian. --— Erik Jr. 12:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name and confusion 

message: I noticed that several of the "other languages" are actually other language versions of the article for the dish Bacalhau, and not for the dried fish itself. Also, several other language versions of this page, like the Norwegian article for Klippfisk (as mentioned in this article, that is the Norwegian name for this dried and salted cod), have been set up with a different article number so I can't link them. It tells me I can "merge", but I did not understand the explanation of how that is done.
This article https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klippfisk is the Norwegian version of this one. As far as I can see, ALL the other language versions of the Klippfisk article are also other language versions of this one. I also noticed the German version of this page should instead be linked to the Bacalhau article. Probably others as well. Can someone more versed in Wikipedia editing fix this mess? 2A02:2121:6A2:4D02:818E:F253:196D:F4B9 (talk) 14:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
