brinier
Tasting more oceanic
Brinier is the comparative form of briny, meaning more salty or having a stronger taste or smell of seawater.
The word typically describes water, air, or food: The oysters from that bay are brinier than the ones we usually get.
Briny itself evokes the ocean, so brinier suggests something closer to seawater in its saltiness or marine character.
