It's not the same..... Not sure why, but it's just not!

I only use unsalted butter for cooking.
For toast, steaks and melting for seafood dipping, I really do prefer
the salted.

Unsalted butter tastes funky with seafood, and adding salt after the
fact does not alter that.

Just my personal tastes tho'. ;-)
