It isn't "kosher" so much as "for koshering". I like it as it has no
iodide. The *expensive* marine salt (fleur de sal) is a condiment I add
at the last minute. It tastes like a nice clean bay on a warm afternoon
smells. Ignore the "it is just expensive NaCl" comments. I saw what
happened with a man who'd never heard of such a thing tasted veggies
salted with it. He'd grown up on a fishing boat, and acted rather like a
cat does after catnip.
