It might seem like a bit much, but you can peg a fly from three feet away. It’s fantastic and runs on table salt.

Buddy, it’s salt in a bucket. That’s as far from cringe as you can get. Toss ‘er in your kitchen and boom, Maritimes on tap. For realz. Drip drip rizz 67.

Do we know anyone who is heading to Halifax tonight or tomorrow morning that could drop off an important package at the Westin?

We’re uniquely qualified to note that Amanda is correct. In fact, depending on the tides the water in the Harbour has more salt in it than the beaches all along the north shore of the province.

Yall.

Need your help, Bluesky/Halisky...

I'm not a fan of the new branding for our Black Garlic fleur de sel. Umami Tides just ain't it.

As we enter our tenth year of Tidal Salt, I want to rebrand it in honour of the place where we got our start, Dartmouth. Tell me which of the following you prefer:

Canva can do that. Exiftool can also add a metadata watermark.

Firefighters and other first responders are working hard all across Canada to keep us safe.

That fire fucked around and found. out.

I guess it's time to bring this design back, upgraded for this years wildfire season. A portion of all sales will go to the Antigonish Volunteer Fire Department, who have been very busy this week!

Especially since all the drone apps throw all sorts of warnings when operating in areas like that, the pilot would have to ignore or intentionally disable them

Hoping things get under control in Halifax and across the region. In the meantime we’ve suspended our outdoor saltmaking, relying on slower methods that are far more fire safe.
