The Salt Roads : How Fish Made a Culture
This is the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of the staple foods of Europe, powered an economic boom and inspired artists, writers and musicians.

As well as following the historical thread and exploring how very different cultures were drawn together by the salt fish trade, John Goodlad meets those whose lives revolve around the industry in the twenty-first century and addresses today's pressing themes of sustainability, climate change and food choices.

Salt
'These were the nights when the German bombers growled through the sky, their bellies full with steel and cordite. When the moon was low their dark shapes and still darker shadows came over the coast. Several hours later they'd return again, wearily, lighter in weight, fewer in number, dropping the occasional bomb on the forgotten land of creeks and channels beneath them. On one of those nights it all began for me - war, after all, starts many things, and even though I wasn't born for another twenty-five years, my story began there.'It is May 1945 and as church bells ring out Victory in Europe over the Norfolk saltmarshes, Goose's daughter Lil is born. But as Lil enters Goose's world, her father leaves it, in a makeshift boat bound - or so the story goes - for Germany, his home. Forty years later it is Lil's son, Pip, who begins to make sense of his family's fragmented history.Who was his grandfather, who fell from the sky into Goose's life and then disappeared as suddenly as he came? What was the truth of his mother, Lil, who lived and lost her way between the creeks and the samphire? And what does it all mean for Pip, whose heritage of flood, fireworks, fish and clouds, has left him ill-prepared for life beyond the marshes?

What is healthier: iodized salt, sea salt, or Himalayan salt?
Iodized salt is the healthiest option among the three because it is fortified with iodine, an essential nutrient that helps support thyroid function and prevent iodine deficiency. Sea salt and Himalayan salt, on the other hand, do not contain significant amounts of iodine. While sea salt and Himalayan salt may contain trace minerals, the difference in nutrient content between these two types of salt and iodized salt is minimal, and they should not be relied upon as significant sources of essential nutrients. It's important to consume iodized salt or other sources of iodine to support overall health.

How is table salt extracted from rock salt?
Table salt is extracted from rock salt through a process called solution mining. This involves drilling a well into an underground salt deposit and injecting water to dissolve the salt. The resulting brine is then pumped to the surface and the water is evaporated, leaving behind the salt. The salt is then further processed and purified to produce the table salt that we use for cooking and seasoning.

Why does the salt crystal lamp lose salt?
Salt crystal lamps lose salt because they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air. As the lamp heats up from the light bulb inside, the moisture is released and the salt begins to evaporate. Over time, this process causes the salt crystal to shrink and lose mass, resulting in the gradual loss of salt from the lamp.
