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".  |
Damn.....I knew I forgot something in my recipe posted. I had 2 lbs. of okra in my Gumbo also.
I boil it in a big pot first for about 30 minutes then rinse with cold water before adding it to the pot. It takes the slimey texture out of the okra and preserves the original Gumbo liquid. I hate slimey Gumbo!!!!!!
