Turning Seawater Into Salt For Food Preservation

Making Salt has been an important tradition in cultures throughout the world for 1000ʻs of years. Being worth your weight in salt is an expression from Roman days when soldiers were paid in measures of salt.

In Hawaii, people have been making salt from the sea for generations. Through evaporation ponds like ones found on Kauai or in shallow rock pools, salt has been made.

We can speed up that process by boiling down the water on a cookstove.

Today we make salt.

At least it's iodine free salt.
That's an impressive amount of salt, no wonder your kidneys fail if you sea water.

I hike for miles to gather my salt. As a former cesspool digger here I can tell you there's lots of illegal cesspools here.
Recently there's been some concerns about micro plastic in sea salt, but I haven't been able to check yet.

Used to fish in Europe many many years ago and we would go out to the small island just off the coast of Ireland no one lived on it but you could camp and we would catch salmon and Seabass and all kinds of things the only thing we brought with us with the ability to make a fire cause if you know that part of the world it rains every day Wood is always wet so we bring some firewood so we can get started and we would take about 50 gallons of seawater and we will pour it into these aluminum trays that were about in Chi 2 feet long and 2 feet wide and then we would put plastic just over it but not touching it it was always quite a bit of wind and we would camp on the silence for about six weeks greatest experience I’ve ever had couple of close calls with some very large seals Some barracuda. And flying raptors. After fishing we will come back with about 100 pounds of fresh fish somebody would come out every week and pick up what we caught.
