Go to gumbo besides chicken and sausage?

I'm kind of burnt out on chicken and sausage gumbo at the moment. What are y'all's other favorite recipes for gumbo? I've made most of the gumbos in Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana kitchen, but it's been a few years. I'm seeing a lot of recipes for seafood gumbo but don't necessarily feel like dropping a hundred bucks on crab meat, oysters, and shrimp.

Seafood gumbo is my other go-to gumbo, but like you mentioned, the price of crab meat and oysters has gotten ridiculous. Add to that the scarcity of oysters this year and they are even more expensive, if you can find them.
When I make mine I use gumbo crabs, shrimp stock, oyster liquor, shrimp, bay scallops and if I have any left over from the spring, crawfish tail meat.
Still works out to around $25+ a gallon for the ingredients.

That's a good one and I also make a turkey gumbo after Thanksgiving using some of the left over fried turkey I cook, plus making the stock from the fried turkey carcasses.
The stock is so good using the fried turkey carcasses and cooking down for at least 12 hours.

I agree with Squatch. Duck and oyster.

If you don’t want to spend money on seafood make a fried chicken and andouille gumbo. 8 pcs Popeyes or day old Albertsons fried chicken are perfect.
I like making a shrimp and andouille.
When I want oysters I have started just adding them to the bowl. It only takes a minute as I like them just “poached” and I have a lot that don’t like oysters. Plus with the price I really only need a pint. Also oysters in gumbo don’t freeze well.

Shrimp and crabclaw is our standard gumbo

Shrimp and sausage gumbo is my go to. I watch for head on shrimp to go on sale and buy in bulk. I peel and cook the heads/shells for the stock. We use Veron’s Green onion sausage for the sausage. It has a more delicate flavor and Doesn’t over power the shrimp.

My Dad loved my Mom's squirrel gumbo above all others. I'm kind of partial to it to. And her seafood gumbo was a close second.

I’ve never had a squirrel gumbo but my grandmother would cook all the ones I gave her in a dark brown gravy and we ate it over mashed potatoes. Man those days are long gone but I can taste that as I type.
She would eat the brains sautéed in butter with scrambled eggs.

You don't cook the duck first? The livers go in whole?

Unfortunately for OP at the end of the day gumbo falls into categories - 1. Poultry 2. Seafood. The only gumbo that strays from those categories is Gumbo Z'herbes. RIP Leah Chase.
