It could mean many things.

Table salt is what you serve on the dining table - Has a rather fine texture for ease of dilution when guests are serve hot foods, or salads.

Larger ones (e.g. large Sea Salt) are used to extract its organic oils in the salt, where it could give a very crispy skin to the meat you're barbecuing or grilling.
