Exotic salts

[Liz B-F]

I keep hearing about fancy black salt, pink Himalayan salt, etc being served at restaurants around the city...I'd like to try some of them at home...any idea where I could buy any of these rare salt varieties retail?

You might start at these places:

Salt 1 (fixed per Suzanne F's post below-hopefully lasts longer than a day-it is also available at the chefshop site and click on the salt picture)

Salt 2

Salt 3

Oops: Salt 1 doesn't work.

But you might also try Adrianna's Caravan, at Grand Central Market (in Grand Central Terminal).

Thanks!

You might want to try Whole Foods, too.

Williams-Sonoma sells Fleur de sel from the Ile de re. It's also cheaper ($9.50) than online sources--the ones I've seen at any rate.
