do i just make the gumbo like normal with sausage & chicken & throw in the oysters at the end?

would the oysters be better with other types of meat?

anyone have any thoughts on this?

I would add them at the end right before serving and keep in mind that if you have leftovers, they will overcook when reheated.

I've never had it in chicken and sausage, but people routinely add it to duck and sausage.

I add it to my chicken and sausage whenever I can get them (in Dallas) tastes great to me.

I'll add them to chicken and sausage sometimes. Just throw them in at the end right before you serve.

like another poster said, they will overcook though when you reheat so be conscience of that.

Boil the duck carcass with vegetables and the duck fat.... duck can be found at most grocery stores or Asian markets

There are several ways people like to do it. Some like to brown the ducks down and de-glaze the pot to get the duck flavor. Others will tell you to boil the duck first. IMO its 6-1 here.

IDK why but chicken and turkeys, I boil and pick. Ducks I always like to brown them and use the trinity to bring up the flavor off the pot. You can add stock as your liquid. I usually start pouring in my drinking beers when they get to 1/4 left in the can. Then, just add water. Again, its personal preference.

Add them oysters at the last 20 minutes.

Cook da rice baw!

I've never bought a duck in a store but rumor has it they sell them. Here's what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Take little balls behind the house and let him blast a nanny. Skin her, cut out a backstrap, build a fire out of pecan and charcoal and grill it. Then as the fire dies down I'm gonna eat the bloody backstrap and add 20 doves and 4 whole wood ducks to the cold end of the pit and smoke for about an hour or so. Then I'm gonna pull the meat off all those carcasses and put the bones on a cookie sheet. Those will go in the oven on 350 for about an hour with some onions and celery to roast their asses off. After they've roasted their asses off I'm gonna put all that goodness in a stock pot and let it simmer for about 3-4 hours. During that time I'll drink a bunch of beer and vodka, brown off some sausage, watch football, build a darker than hell oven roux, then bomb it with some garlic and the trinity. About 5pm I'll put all the components together and let them marry each other. About 6:30 I'm gonna dump in a quart of fatass oysters. At 6:45 I will declare the gumbo fit for consumption, pour me 3 fingers of mid grade bourbon and retire to my man cave recliner and watch Buga Fournette and the Fighting Tigers destroy Nicky the Fish And his band of gay Gumps much to the chagrin of 90,000 screaming houndstooth clad retard inbreds.

Yea, I scrap the skin after I smoke them. Wild ducks are pretty lean but you may can put a pan under your store bought ducks when you smoke them and catch some fat to make your roux with.
