Attempting my first seafood gumbo this Christmas, and was wondering if there are any places y’all prefer when getting ingredients for a seafood gumbo (shrimp, oysters, crab meat, etc). Thanks in advance.

Anywhere but seafood from a grocery store. Make broth with the shrimp heads/shells and throw in some gumbo crabs when boiling if you want to go the extra mile. Darkish roux. Takes time but well worth it.

And if using fresh oysters, strain the oyster liquor to remove any shell particles that may be in it and put that in the pot too.

This was going to be my response.

Don't forget to add your salt/spice after you cook the gumbo.

Long time seafood store in Lafayette. Been there many times.

I buy most of my fresh seafood (shrimp, crabs, oysters) from the Seafood Farmers Market and local merchants/vendors in Delcambre, Erath, Maurice, & Abbeville. Call ahead to reserve what you need. I buy gumbo crabs from Rouses.
