From what I've read, sea salt doesn't have enough minerals to even consider it a valuable source of minerals. Redmond's locks like it's from Utah. Sold in health stores. I wonder how it compares to sea salt in terms of minerals
Sea salt has a lot of trace minerals in it. It's usually the processing that goes into making table salt that removes those trace minerals.
Redmond's is an (ancient) sea salt too. Also good are Celtic and Himalayan pink salt.
Mediterranean sea salt is also not bad though it's much harder to find analysis sheets for in a pinch.
Honestly, you really can't go wrong with sea salt in general. But table salts are allowed to have anticaking agents and are higher in sodium chloride. Also to some people, including me, taste very metallic.
Sea food (including weeds like kelp) actually contains a lot of iodine. Also eggs. Eggs have a pretty solid source of iodine.
You know, those things they tried to get people not to eat.
Kelp, konbu, nori, seaweed in general is full of iodine. So here in Japan despite everyone eating tofu and other soybean products, the iodine protects the thyroid from soy. Vegans in the West, being the pussies they are, worship the soybean but do not get enough iodine. Thus, they suck.
Iodized salt has less appeal as a flavoring agent, so more stores tend to stock sea salt or other kosher salt that doesn't have as many additives and a better flavor.
You can still find it. If you're willing to add to Bezos' dragon hoard, you can get a 25 pound bag of it for $46, and I'm sure you can find it for a bit more if you can find a direct distributor other than the Bezos hoard.
Get Redmond’s salt instead.
Far more minerals you can actually absorb, including iodine.

Beware "Himalayan" pink salt. It's actually from Pakistan, and is full of toxic contaminants. They use dynamite to mine, for example.
Mineral analysis
i've been having to seek it out. most on the shelf is 'sea salt' or just table salt with no iodine. used to be all of it was.
Kelp has iodine on it.
