briniest
Highest salt content
Briniest is the superlative form of briny, meaning most salty or having the strongest taste of seawater.
The word typically describes water, air, or food: the briniest oysters I've ever tasted, the briniest stretch of the estuary.
Briny suggests the concentrated salt of the sea rather than ordinary saltiness.
