My grandmother soaked her baccala for days. Changing the water as the clock ticked. I much prefer the idea of "overnight". Is that really enough?
You have to check it as you go because different sources have different degrees of saltiness. You don't need to cook it to check it. Just cut off a small piece after 12 hours, and if it's too salty give it 12 more and so on. Just poach till it's opaque.
