saltmaker

Produces seasoning crystals

A saltmaker is a person who produces salt, historically by evaporating seawater in shallow ponds or boiling brine from salt springs.

The occupation was once essential—salt preserved food before refrigeration.

The term appears mostly in historical contexts: The saltmakers worked the coastal flats at low tide.
