More on Sea Salt

Recall that a few days ago, my brother the trout, Salvelinas Fontinalis, asked if there was much difference between sea salt and ordinary table salt. Thank you all for your responses.

The other day, Tuffy P came home with a small container of Salish Alderwood Smoked Salt. It is slow smoked for a day over alderwood coals. I think we may have remortgaged Anchovy World Headquarters to buy it. This salt is mid-brown in colour. I tried a pinch on it's own. It's delightfully smoky yet still quite surprisingly delicate. I tried some in a salad, and it added a mysterious level of depth. Very nice indeed.

Try this one with some sauteed mushrooms, Salvelinas.

I have heard a lot about smoked salts but have yet to try them. I'm not sure where I'd find them around here, but I'll be on the lookout. I can see all kinds of great uses for them!

Mmmm, I've been looking for an excuse to add more salt! Sounds divine.
