Guy in camp next to ours makes one with poule d'eau gizzards. It's really good.

I like some poul Deaux about twice a year. Poul Deaux and oyster makes a really good gumbo.

Do you do anything to the duck meat?

Just drop it in the gumbo, or cook it some other way before you drop it in?

Pot roasted poule d'eaux is damn tasty, as long as I don't have to clean em and eat em in the same day. Incidentally, The NY Times food section published John Besh's poule d'eau gumbo recipe a few years back. Made me LOL to think of bougie exotic ingredient chasing cooks out scouring their markets for the lowly moorhen.

I've been thinking of shrimp + smoked pork dishes besides gumbo: the peerless shrimp and tasso henican at Commanders, shrimp/sausage jambalaya, shrimp/sausage/fresh corn soup, the 1,001 variations of shrimp and sausage pasta, bacon wrapped grilled shrimp.....

People's infactuation with sausage blows my mind. It doesn't have to go in everything.

No it doesn't, neither does bacon. But I like sausage in my seafood gumbo, its how the woman that raised me prepared it, she used tomato too. I find it masks the delicate iodine flavor of the shrimp.

Had a seafood gumbo with crawfish tails last night and shrimp and crab. Bleh.

Bunch of food snobs in here that think they know everything sausage and shrimp is completely fine together




It's not a rule or a snob thing. It's a preference. I eat pork with seafood in other dishes. I don't care for sausage in seafood gumbo. In seafood gumbo, I love the flavor of the seafood stock and the seafood. Sausage can have a powerful flavor which I love in chicken and sausage/andouille gumbo, but don't love in seafood gumbo.

I love shrimp and oysters wrapped in bacon, shrimp and tasso hennican at Commanders and other dishes mixing pork with seafood, not all, but plenty of them.

I don't see why you need a special recipe. Just make a seafood gumbo and add sausage. I add sausage to every gumbo no matter what kind.

Why do you need a specific recipe? Just make your gumbo and instead of chicken add in seafood. Maybe add in some crab boil for a little extra flavor and spice?

That's fine to say it's not your preference but to say it's wrong is ignorant. There really is no reason to think you can't mix the two.

Not true! Folse has a recipe for Louisiana Seafood Gumbo that includes sausage on page 502 of his cookbook "Hooks, Lies & Alibis", Louisiana's Authoritative Collection of Game Fish & Seafood Cookery. So, I suggest you take a look. It is done all the time, and the results are fantastic!

No they are not. Sausage overpowers the flavor of the shrimp and crab.

Blows my mind that people feel the need to put sausage is literally everything.

That is because sausage goes in chicken gumbo, not in seafood gumbo.
