Filmed in Fairmont, WV and surrounding areas, the hometown of writer/producer Robert Tinnell
Joe Pantoliano and Ray Abruzzo co starred in The Sopranos (1999-2007). Also in the show, was a character named Baccala as a nickname.
The Bacala scenes clearly do not contain actual bacala or cod fish filets. The fish in the movie is thin and bacala or cod is a thick meaty piece of fish.
