Salt is a mineral, it simply does not go bad.
If you have any concerns about the freshness of your salt, make a saline solution of it by boiling 4 parts water to 1 part salt, skimming off any impurities, then boiling down, straining out the salt, and dry under very, very low heat or just under kitchen oven light. The salt will dry, 100% "fresh" and can then be broken up and ground in a salt mill or by using a pestle.
you smell it
it should be determinable by scent...
If the fish is fresh it will probably have an ocean salt-like smell, but if it smells like chemicals i would not recomend buying and or eating it, chemicals are not healthy for your body
The shelf life of sea salt is indefinite if stored properly in a cool, dry place away from moisture and sunlight. To extend its freshness, keep it in an airtight container and avoid exposing it to humidity.

You can determine the freshness of a fish by looking at its eyes, gills, and skin. Fresh fish will have clear, bright eyes, red gills, and shiny, firm skin. Additionally, fresh fish should have a mild ocean smell, not a strong fishy odor.
It is very simple to determine the solubility of salt; also detailed tables exist.
No. You'd have to add considerably more than a pinch to have a salt concentration high enough to help preserve milk.
No, salt water cannot be used to accurately determine the boiling point of ultrapure water. Salt water boils at a slightly higher temperature than pure water; salt water can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water.
To revive wilted or less fresh cucumbers, you can soak them in ice water for about 30 minutes or sprinkle them with a little salt and let them sit for a while before rinsing them off. This can help restore their crispness and freshness.
An egg that sinks in water is fresh, while an egg that floats is not fresh.
When eggs float in water, it means they are not fresh. This is because as eggs age, air enters the shell and the air pocket inside the egg grows larger, causing it to float. Fresh eggs sink to the bottom of the water. This simple test can help determine the freshness of eggs before consuming them.
