Whole unless you have some really huge oysters and you might half those for more even cooking, perhaps, but never chop.

Similar experience. Growing up in Laffy, I only remember having seafood gumbos, though no okra. It was much later that I had a poultry gumbo.

I had a different experience.
My Paternal Grand Parents always had Shirmp and Crab
My Maternal Grand parents always had Chicken and sausage with whole boiled eggs in it.
One was from Vacherie, one was from Chauvin.
When you ate seafood in Vacherie it was crawfish, choupique, catfish and turtle. When you ate seafood in Chauvin it was boiled crabs and shrimp. Fried speckled trout, flounder and redfish. It was all good though. Suprisingly, my Chauvin Grandparents were the only ones who put any kind of tomato in a gumbo. Vacherie folks never did that.

Good post. I love the distinctions birthed by parish lines and different regions....almost as much as I love the dumbass opinions created by them.

1) Wild Goose - goose, Andouille, dark roux with medium/thick body
2) Chicken & Sausage - chicken, Andouille, dark roux with medium/thick body
3) Seafood - shrimp and crabmeat, dark roux with light/medium body
4) Wild Duck - duck, Andouille, dark roux with medium/thick body
I see a lit of people prefer lighter rouxs on here. I tend to prefer a thicker gumbo. In general, gumbos near New Orleans seem to be thicker I would assume. Definitely no tomatoes for me though.

Commander's is a little thicker than I am used to but I still liked it. What did you not like about it?

Don't serve it with rice.
When I asked for a small bowl of rice to go with it, server gave me the WTF look. Then asked me where I was from?

Yea, I didn't like that either. I'm from the area and have grown up eating rice in gumbo and stews my whole life.

Was gonna ask him for a small bowl of "medium" grain rice, but figured I better not press my luck after he gave me the evil eye and geography questions.
