Tell me about the frozen crabmeat. I've never had any frozen where I'd take a second bite. I find it to be awful and we've tried every trick in the book for freezing it. Still awful.

The only times I've had it frozen in which it was not terrible was in stuffed eggplant with a good bit of butter in it and an app in which it's coated in mayo. I'm thinking the fat protects it.

Never had an issue with it in Gumbo. Maybe its just absorbed in the gravy to where it is not as noticeable.

To be honest, there are so many flavors being released in a hearty Gumbo I find it hard to notice..........we save leftover seafood all summer long in the freezer to add to Gumbo's and never have an issue.

Pertaining to Gumbo (IMO):

1) If you don't make a Stock, it ain't Gumbo, it's Gravy.

2) It must have Okra and no Tomatoes.

3) Dark Roux - 2 cups Oil, 2-1/2 cups flour is a must.

4) arse load of veggies - 5 large Yellow Onions, 4 Bell Peppers, 1 bunch Celery, 2 Bunches Green Onions.
