Jimmy Wed Sep 01 18:29:59 -0700 2004 0 Jimmy 1 1649375 If you're looking for regular, more affordable sea salt, as opposed to fleur de sel, I like Baline and Trader Joe's brand.

They are less expensive and I believe it can be bought online too. There is also the "alae" variety that is reddish in color. keo Wed Sep 01 19:35:14 -0700 2004 1649373 0 keo 1 1649386 A British product. Excellent, delicate flavor, not that expensive - about five clams a pound or less in most stores. Very pretty appearance in a cut glass salt cellar on a formal holiday table, too. Good eats.

My mum used to mail it to me from England but now I can find it in specialist stores stateside.

I now carry it with me when I travel, I have become so attached. Thu Sep 02 09:24:40 -0700 2004 1649387 0 Fred B 4 1649416 LOVE Maldon - I got my first box from a specialty store in Vancouver and the clerk said that if I didn't like the product he would personally walk on his knees from BC to LA to give me a refund. Needless to say - he didn't have to make the trek! Thu Sep 02 12:52:50 -0700 2004 1649403 0 chopstix 4 1649437 I am too, and I do too, in a little blue vial. I like it much better than the French Fleur de Sel or the Light Grey Celtic Sea Salt, both of which I have around, as well as a no-name brand purchased from a Frenchman here for $2 a pound.
