    For 2 1/2 years I lived in the jungle with no fresh water except rain, so yes I cooked everything in sea water. But don't just go to the beach with a bucket and dip some up. You have to get it from the deep undisturbed water to keep from getting the algae and slime, fish poop and sand, and stuff that is being carried in it. I sent the kids out in a canoe for the water and then ran it thru cheesecloth, then a clean coffee filter, then boiled it for 10 min. before I used it for cooking. what ever was left over I stored it in a bucket with a tight lid. Strained it every time I used it out of the bucket because it would still have particle's in it. As far as taste goes, you never have to add salt and once you do it you will never want to use fresh water again.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    Hhmmm. Our groundwater is brackish.
    I wonder how that would work?
    Wouldn't be as salty. I got a very efficient filter, it would remove all particles, fish crap, etc.
