Although it may seem like it's an arbitrary measure depending on how well you dip your fingers into the salt bowl a "pinch" is actually supposed to be a specific measure of 1/16th of a teaspoon. But because it is rather small, a tiny bit more or less usually won't be too much of an issue in the larger recipe. Usually.
It means what it says.
Take what you can pinch between finger and thumb - so not a lot.
Update
Historically the pinch was more precisely defined by some U.S. cookbooks as approximately 1⁄8 teaspoon.
In the early 2000s some companies began selling measuring spoons that defined (or redefined) a dash as 1⁄8 teaspoon, a pinch as 1⁄16 teaspoon, and a smidgen as 1⁄32 teaspoon. Based on these spoons, there are two pinches in a dash and two smidgens in a pinch.
One pinch of fine salt is approximately 1⁄4 gram (20-24 pinches per teaspoon), while one pinch of sugar is 1⁄3 - 1⁄2 gram.
A pinch is not a recognised measurement -it could be anything.
You have it backwards, a few or several "pinches" are required to fill a teaspoon.
A pinch is 1â„16 of a tsp. There is 16 pinches in a teaspoon.
