A Note from the Saltmaker

We began Amagansett Sea Salt Co. in 2011 as an adventure that married two of our favorite things – fine food and life by the ocean. Today, salt making is our passion and finishing salt is our full-time business.

Throughout our marriage, we’ve traveled together and enjoyed the pleasures of each other's company and a good meal—with the freshest ingredients, simply prepared and properly seasoned. While still pursuing our careers as attorneys, we spent breaks exploring the traditions of salt making in picturesque, tranquil places around the world. As we spent more time in our beloved childhood beach town of Amagansett, we began to experiment with the craft of salt making. What began as a hobby more than thirty years ago has evolved into years of refining our sea salt process—designing unique solar-evaporating salterns, developing processes to tend and hand-harvest our crop, and testing natural flavor pairings that complement our delicate sea salt.

Today, Amagansett Sea Salt is recognized by leading chefs as one of the world’s most respected finishing salts. Our culinary salts are used in exceptional restaurants and by chefs, home cooks, gourmets, and food artisans alike. We invite you to taste and discover our exceptional sea salt too!

We collect Atlantic Ocean seawater bucket by bucket and nurture our growing crop of salt crystals by hand, year-round. We do this because we know our finishing salt will elevate and make your food look, feel and taste better—whether you’re a professional chef or a home cook. And we love creating something beautiful together.

HOW TO USE

Amagansett Sea Salt is best enjoyed as a finishing salt — also sometimes called a plating or post-plating salt — sprinkled directly onto food just before serving. A light touch brings out and amplifies each dish’s natural flavors while adding visual appeal and a satisfying pop of texture.

Use it to elevate everything from savory dishes to sweets — grilled meats and seafood, roasted vegetables and grains, or even cookies, fruit, and desserts of all kinds. A tiny amount is all you need to make flavors shine.

Go easy — depending on the dish and your taste, just a couple of grains per bite is enough. Amagansett Sea Salt enhances food much like a fine flake salt, yet unlike delicate flakes, our salt’s crystalline grains don’t melt away quickly. They linger, offering a gentle crunch and a lasting burst of flavor in every bite.

"Finishing salt makes all foods taste better. Sea salt by Amagansett Sea Salt Co. is one of our favorites for its fabulous flavor and texture! All those top-rated chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants using it can't be wrong."
