What do you think of Frozen Meat?
Food freezing industry came a long way over the decades and properly frozen food is nearly as good as fresh. Your best buy is individually quick frozen (IQF); all pieces are separate and each piece is covered with an ice glaze to seal it off from harmful oxygen. You can keep these in the freezer (I am not kidding) for years without loss of quality.
The secret of all frozen meats, seafood, poultry is slow defrosting in the refrigerator. Should you prefer rubber chicken of banquet hall dinners, defrost fast or, even better, under running water.
All poultry comes to the mega-stores frozen-- it is the clerk who defrosts it, so why not buy it frozen and you do the defrosting.

Salt is one of our primary flavoring ingredient and food enhancer. Without salt foods taste flat. (And, no, salt has been around far longer than beginning of civilization--has been around since the first ocean water evaporated, some 3 billion years ago). And all salt is *sea salt* since all originates from the ocean (small exception is salt from brine-rich lakes like Great Salt Lake in Utah).
Use plain granular salt for all your kitchen needs except for what chef's call *finishing salt*, like sprinkling kosher salt on top of pretzels, dishes, etc.
High-priced salts are a total waste of money. Spend what you save on super-premium ice cream.
