I'm not real sure what she does about Salmon now that I think about it. I'm about to call and see...

My wife does this as well and drives me nuts. Same thing with Salmon. It's as if she is incapable of pronouncing silent L's.

It depends.
Feee-lay for gumbo or how I clean a fish(I realize they are different spellings though)
fuh-lay for the steak

Is this a troll? I don't understand this at all.
It's fi-lay in all applications of the word.

Yep, my husband. And the L in almond.

I don't think it is for filé.
Do you sing, "Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fi-lay gumbo?"
Or fee-lay gumbo?

I can't comment on that because I'm not from Louisiana.
But I get where the confusion comes from now and I'd argue the pronunciation of gumbo filé is not relevant here.
Filet is a cut of meat, which is fi-lay.

I suppose you are correct, strictly speaking, but it's a dialetical difference. Fee-lay for fish is what I was raised saying. It wasn't just some weird family quirk, it's all over. Just one of those weird regional things.

Sal-mon is a color. Sa-mon is a fish.
