Sea salt, salt obtained by the evaporation of seawater, is used in cooking and cosmetics. It is also called bay salt or solar salt. Generally more expensive than table salt, it is commonly used in gourmet cooking and specialty potato chips, particularly the kettle cooked variety (known as hand-cooked in the UK/Europe).
