Using sea salt in recipes

Question

Many recipes specifically call for sea salt. Ignoring any nutritional impact, is there any real difference to the flavor of the final food product using sea salt compared to run-of-mill, grocery store table salt?

Answer 1

Table salt typically has iodine in it, which can leave a bitter and/or metallic taste. It’s typically not something you’d notice, but it can (allegedly) affect the flavor of some recipes.
