Some brands of "kosher salt" (all salt is kosher) do contain anti-
clumping compounds. The taste difference is attributed to that the
larger crystals linger longer on the tongue before they dissolve,
therefore the perceived taste is saltier.

The difference between table salt and sea salt is that table salt is
sea salt that has been purified (mined salt is sea salt from long ago
dried up seas). Sea salt contains whatever minerals/metals/organics
that were present in the particular body of water from where it was
taken. No one should use sea salt regularly without consulting their
phycision, there may be adverse interactions with certain drugs
(prescription and OTC), and pregnant women would typically be advised
not to partake at all. Sea salt is actually dirty filthy salt
(contains raw sewerage. bits of used condoms, heavy metals, etc. -
truth), why it costs so much more is idiotic... why people buy it is
even dumber... but then the majority are dumb and prefer to eat shit,
brined shit though it may be... anyone who prefers sea salt is the
epitome of a TIADer, who can make good money renting themselves out as
human bidets, licking out filthy dirty sweaty crotches.
