I'm with you it is richer than normal for us too using Chicken but still eats well.
Being born and raised in Mobile. I have eaten plenty of that muddy water gumbo. I definitely is interesting how gumbo changes from place to place. Gumbo there has rice in it. Imagine my surprise when I got gumbo somewhere else that was a little gumbo over a bed of rice. All this gumbo talk has got me wanting a batch now.
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
