Good, reasonable fleur de sel?

[blkery]

I'd like a good all purpose fleur de sel or similar finishing salt. I don't mind more intense mineral tastes as long as they'd work in a variety of dishes. The salt options in my town are pretty limited - any recommendations for something I can buy online?

Ounce for ounce, fleur de sel is more expensive than other salts, because of the hand labor required to gather it. You only need a little to finish a dish. Traditional fleur de sel comes from the Camargue area of Brittany. Williams-Sonoma sells a version that is produced further down the Atlantic Coast. Portuguese flor de sal is similar in quality to the French version. It used to be less expensive, but no longer. A less expensive alternative would be Maldon sea salt from southeast England.

The SaltWorks in Colorado carries just about any kind of salt you'd want, including the colored salts (Himalayan, Hawaian Alea, etc.) that have become trendy. I would start there:

I use Halen Mon in preferance to Maldon.
