Sea salt may be better because it has contaminants in it that give it flavor. There is no scientific evidence that sea salt is better for one's health. All table salt is basically sodium chloride, NaCl. Sea salt is NaCl with some contaminants not washed out or artificially added after the salt is refined.

Is sea salt better for you than regular table salt?

Sea salt is no better, and no worse than regular table salt. The difference is that they are collected in a different manner, contain different minerals, and table salt has added iodine (of which most people get enough from other foods). The taste is slightly different, some say more "subtle" than table salt. But nutritionally, there is no difference. They're both pure sodium chloride.
