There's also an Indian volcanic pink salt that smells strongly of sulfur. Great on eggs or potato bhaji. Counts as "special effect" salt alongside the Chinese sweet salt scented with dried plums (a rather strange beast.)

I have also been known to put a ramekin of fleur du sel in my smoker while I'm doing meats, to make smoked salt. It's a beautiful flavor on top of fresh tomato slices with a bit of olive oil.

I've bought some smoked finishing salts before. Good stuff.

Oh no. I'm talking about the real fake stuff. General Tso's chicken, sesame chicken, you know, that sort authentic not Chinese stuff.

we don't talk about fakes on here Raza

Same here. I also have some very expensive fleur de sel that I purchased years ago. After the fleur de sell has dried in the open fields they pour barrels of decent cabernet sauvignon on it. And that is how you finish a steak.

I've been getting my salt from these guys for a few years now. Their infused salts are great & the white truffle is especially good on popcorn and veggies.

Bagels are a bit of a pain, so when I make them I make enough for two or three lunches and freeze everything not eaten the first day.

Toasted bagels, cream cheese, capers, red onion, black pepper and the steelhead that I cured and cold smoked starting about two weeks ago. I did a longer cure and used only salt this time and the texture is fabulous.



This is the plain steelhead, not the bourbon peppercorn version.

As an aside, I actually prefer cold smoked steelhead to cold smoked salmon.

I had 'volcano salt' in Iceland which I believe is just mixed with charcoal or something. Tasted... Salty.
