Simple. Evaporate the water and crystals of salt will form. Scrape up the crystals and put them through a grinder to reduce the size and in your salt shaker it goes. Near San Francisco is a very large area simply known as the Salt Flats.

These are wide area shallow ponds which are periodically flooded with sea water and then dammed off and allowed to just sit in the sun and evaporate the water. What is cool is that there are bacteria which live in the brine which turns the water a slight pink color.

These bacteria live nowhere else. Also, there are little tiny brine shrimp (known also by the name Sea Monkeys and grown by people to use as live fish food) which like the bacteria, only live in the brine.
