Salt was important in Cornwall when we had a pilchard fishery. Salt was used to preserve the fish in barrels, “head to tail”. The fish was sold in the Catholic countries of Europe (fish every Friday). Some salt was made in Cornwall, but salt from Brittany was considered to be better. Sometimes the fishermen waited for salt from France before landing their catch. There is a rhyme written by John Boson (in about 1700) about pilchards and salt. “Pilchards! Pilchards! More salt!” You can read all of the rhyme in this blog:
