We had another amazing How to Make Sea Salt workshop a few weekends ago. Another one of our ongoing summer partnerships with the wonderful South Fork Natural History Museum. Another large crowd of future salt makers met us at Road D in Southampton for a morning of harvesting, ocean safety, discussing the different ways you can use your homemade sea salt. This is the third workshop we've done with SoFo and we haven't had a repeat attendee! We look forward to continuing the partnership next summer!

Please Make sure to check out the Fall events and workshops!
Last weekend we debuted our limited run, Black Truffle Sea Salt Blend. The truffles were sourced from our WHB Farmer's Market friends at Open Minded Organics. The outcome is a buttery, sweet/salty, magical flavor. We highly suggest purchasing while supplies last. Please stop by the farmer's market and give it a try! Cost: 1 ounce, $20. 4 ounce, $50.

Go To Meals will be a reoccurring installment of what I'm whipping up in the kitchen and throwing a ton of salt on. These meals are not tested in a test kitchen or 'developed' to any extent. They are just an exploration into the use of our homemade sea salt.
The staple items of my diet are (in no particular order) olive oil, salt, eggs, greens (usually arugula or kale), fresh crushed black pepper, olives (all kinds), lemons, and Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese. With these items, I can make endless combinations.
Today's meal looks a bit elevated, but it was super simple. I had pack of sweet Italian sausage that NEEDED to be used. I took the sausage out of the casing and fried the whole pack on the range with two shallots chopped and bit of olive oil. When it cooked down a bit, I threw in a heavy splash of Montepulciano (red wine) that I was drinking while preparing this meal. On the other burner, I started a creamy polenta. I always have polenta on hand for emergencies and non emergencies- everyone should have polenta in their cupboard. I boiled 2 cups of a half water, half almond milk mixture (don't judge!) and slowly added Romano cheese and a hefty amount of fresh pepper. I usually will use a chicken stock or regular milk with polenta, but the almond milk was the only other liquid available. A real polenta recipe that looks great!
For the arugula, it was simply tossed with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a small drizzle of olive oil.
Lastly, and the main part of this dish, is something I've been working on for the last few months. My favorite Italian restaurants in the city are the Frank restaurants in the East village and Lower East Side- Sauce, Supper, Lil Frankie's and Frank's. Seriously, I could eat at any of these every night. Drooling just thinking about it. Anyway, if you follow their owner, Frank Prisinzano on Instagram you would know that he is the king of the 'crispy egg' and holy cannoli, is this thing amazing! It basically is a fried egg with one side REALLY well done. Smitten Kitchen have a great tutorial here, though I do like mine a bit more burn-y!
For assembly, I try not to pig out on the polenta too much and build the plate up with healthy portions of all components. Top with a ton of fresh SEA SALT. Tahhhdahhh!
Hi friends/family/fans,
We're finally up and running on this new fancy platform. We will launch the store in a week or so and you will finally be able to buy salt online! Big, big, big thanks to our awesomely talented friend, Kristin Cardo, for helping us update and uproot the website. We owe her lots of salt and hugs.
As the snow falls on the east end, you can still see us out and about grabbing water and continuing salt production. We produce fresh, homemade sea salt all year long and we never let the weather get us down- that's why wetsuits were invented :) You can keep up with us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to see when we're jumping in the ocean, setting up new salt beds, and cooking delicious foods. We're excited to roll out a new product in a few weeks and slowly let you all in on our big summer plans!
Thank you to everyone who has helped us out or cheered us on during this salty journey, there is so much more to come!
We've switched platforms and are finally opening our online store! Soon you will be able to purchase all the salts you want online. Feel free to email us with larger/custom orders!
In July, we auctioned off a salt making workshop with all proceeds going towards the Bradley Carbone Recovery Fund. Brad is an amazing human and NYC/Hamptons friend, you can read his story here: http://forbradleycarbone.com/
On October 18th, we held the workshop for the auction winners at Swordfish Beach Club in Westhampton. Meg and Tim Carbone just happened to be at the beach during the workshop, which made it all the more special. The workshop attendees took their water home at the end of the lesson to finish their product. I’m happy to report that they have sent me numerous pictures of their homemade sea salt and are very happy with their results!
We will post our spring and summer salt making workshops in the up coming months. Did you see the photos from our first workshop in Southampton for the SoFo Museum?
You can still support Bradley HERE
This is my typical weekend late fall/winter/early spring outfit. I’ve tried everything from rain boots, knee high boots, and waders, but nothing compares to my trustworthy wet suit for mobility and warmth. I’m able to really get in past the shore break and not feel like I’m being held down by material.
My new lifesavers: These rubber dipped booties by Rip Curl. Holy cannoli! They keep my feet SUPER warm and dry. Walking on the wet and dry sand is 100x easier with these babies. Big thanks to our friends at Island Surf for hooking it up!
I am so grateful for empty beaches and warm water, both of which lead to ideal salt making conditions.
My only complaint is that it gets this dark at 5pm! Fingers crossed that all hurricanes stay far, far away!
