Marsalforn is a fishing village and therefore you'll be able to see the colourful Maltese fishing boats either floating in the bay or on land undergoing renovations. Maltese fisherman are very proud of their colourful and seaworthy boats and you can always find one being refurbished or repainted. If you drive around the bay towards the newer area of Malrsalforn, you will come to an area where salt pans have been carved out of the rock to harvest sea salt. Sea water is pumped into this shallow pans and then the hot sun is left to do the rest. Eventually, a thing crust of salt forms in the shallow pans.
Sea salt has a very different taste than the rock salt most people are used to.
It is preferred by many chefs for its flavour. Click here for a picture of the salt pans at Marsalforn. Click here for a picture of the coast around Marsalforn. This Page is maintained by Wilfred L. Camilleri.
