I am going to make a seafood gumbo this week. Looking to mix things up and adding redfish or trout to the gumbo.

Is it worth it? If so when should I add the fish?

I like redfish/drum/sheepshead in there. Add it toward the end. Cut it into chunks. 15 minutes cooking time should be all it needs.

This/\. If adding fish, add a firm fleshed one that won't fall apart too easily.

I also like to add bay scallops in mine. They are much smaller than sea scallops, don't cost as much and cook up real quick.

Of course it doesn't hurt to toss in some crawfish tail meat if available.

Fish in gumbo sort of gives off a texture like crab. I believe a lot of restaurants utilize fish in their seafood gumbo.

I usually put catfish in my gumbo. Just toss in big chunks, same time I put the shrimp in.

Once everything is simmering I add cold/cooked fish, usually to a 2-3 serving dish. It’s a great addition but breaks down easy so I usually wouldn’t add it to any entire pot.

Pan fry the fish in your oil before you make your roux. Add the fish back in towards the end.

True. I ate it as child and, now, I never want fish in my gumbo again.
