How are mountain- and sea salt different from regular table salt?

Answer 1

The biggest practical difference is that table salt is usually sold as a fine grain and the others are typically sold as coarse grain. I use fine grain for cooking since it’s easier to be consistent with the amount and I use coarse grain for seasoning after the food is cooked because I like the texture.
