And I think a lot of salted food was just eaten, not cooked?

Some of the salted food like meat was so salted that even just dragging it in sea water on ships was effective way to lower salt content. So it was definitely cooked most often boiled to remove most of salt content.
I think we largely have not learned just how much salt is needed to properly preserve food outside refrigeration over longer periods.
