No, it's just a different shape, so it gives a little different mouth feel.
I like kosher salt for the same reason. I have some flavored salts that are fun, but essentially, salt is salt.
Thanks!

I'm a huge fan of kosher salt, but I like having iodized salt as well. Does anyone know if they make a large flake salt with iodine in it?
I'm not completely positive but I think the different colored salts get the color from certain minerals from the region it comes from. Salt is salt but different minerals have different benefits. There are sea salts that have ocean/sea minerals and cave salts with those minerals. This is what I have come to understand. But as I said I could be wrong.
+1. Just to add to this, those impurities are often minerals (like the iron oxide in pink salt), but there isn't enough to make a difference nutritionally.In fact, all salt is sea salt.
The difference is that some of it comes from current oceans and some of comes from oceans that have long since dried up and left their salt behind in salt mines.
It's all sodium chloride. Refined salts are more pure and less expensive than specialty salts that leave the impurities in the salt. It's those impurities that impart the special flavor notes and colors in specialty salts.
Why are you so worried about getting iodized salt? You're in Puget Sound? Go to the shore, take two deep breaths, and you have more than your minimum iodine requirement for at least a year!

It might be, but I know there are places where you can get the salt off of rocks and stuff. Now that I'm thinking about it, the place where the family lived in "Old Yeller" was called Salt Licks, I think, and that was in Texas.
Maybe the area they were in was covered by ocean at one time.
