Kitchen staple that's gone missing in the song "Margaritaville" (4)

I believe the answer is:

salt

(Other definitions for salt that I've seen before include "Crystalline substance for the table" , "Seasoning; old sailor" , "Condiment - experienced sailor" , "Liveliness" , "Brackish" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
