This is a real SEAFOOD gumbo. No meat in here. This is the best gumbo I've ever had. The crab boil is the key ingredient - do not omit it. The smell will drive you nuts!!! NOTE: If you can't find Crab Boil at your grocery, please refer to recipe#3252 by Candie Yoder or #34801 by Miller (Oysters are optional, I don't eat them myself)
