Catfish in gumbo should be against the law Maybe you should give that crazy cook a nice etouffee recipe

Seafood gumbo for me is shrimp, crab & oyster. If I were ever going to put fish in it I might consider one that holds a texture and accepts flavor, not adds different (like shark nibblets or something) but fish shouldn't be there and I've never done it myself. I'd be more likely to call any concoction with fish in it "stew"

Gumbo without okra should also be against the law. Seems some people are unfamiliar with the origin of the word "gumbo".
