Seafood Gumbo is a staple in New Orleans, and Castnet Seafood’s version is a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic taste of this rich, flavorful dish. Castnet’s gumbo is a hearty, soul-warming stew made with a deep, dark roux—a combination of flour and fat that is carefully cooked to achieve the perfect balance of flavor. This roux serves as the foundation of the gumbo, adding a depth and richness that makes the dish unforgettable.
Loaded with fresh shrimp, crab, and oysters, the gumbo showcases the best seafood that the Gulf has to offer. The shellfish are simmered in a savory broth that’s seasoned with traditional Cajun spices, including thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper, as well as aromatic vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and celery. The result is a thick, flavorful gumbo that is both spicy and savory, with each spoonful offering a perfect blend of seafood and spices.
Served over a bed of fluffy white rice, Castnet’s Seafood Gumbo is a comforting, satisfying dish that feels like a warm embrace from the city of New Orleans itself. The seafood is perfectly cooked, tender, and infused with the robust flavors of the gumbo base. Whether enjoyed as a main course or a starter, this gumbo is a standout on the menu and a true reflection of Louisiana’s rich culinary history. It’s a dish that will transport you straight to the heart of New Orleans with every bite.
