OT chefs, how does your seafood gumbo differ from any other gumbo?

Or does it?
Do you use the same roux?
And outside the obvious, do you do anything or add anything different?

I put a jar of peanut butter in just after the shrimp and before the crab.

The darkest roux I can make as all of the liquids coming from the ingredients(shrimp, crabs and oysters) will dilute the stock of it.

I have no idea whether mine differs from any other gumbo. Differs from some I've seen here and in restaurants. I use a very dark roux, strong stock usually made with just shrimp shells and it's unadulterated...no okra and no tomatoes. Seafood is added just before serving and only to the amount being served. No foreign herbs and spices. Trinity, garlic and green onions. No bay or any of that stuff. File' is added by the dinner guests.

Use a shrimp stock, or one with shrimp and crab. I use bay leaf and a small amount of herbs ...basil, thyme and oregano. I use file, added within 30 minutes of serving. The seafood goes in with the green onion, when I cut the fire, just before the parsley is added. And it has okra...because it's gumbo.

I made a committment after lurking here for a while and before posting the first time. After witnessing monumental meltdown Gumbo strings I decided to never drag my soul into the bottomless pit of making a comment and having twenty people scream BLASPHEMER!
