Just use the cajun spices it's them that make the difference to the taste otherwise it's just stew by another name.

Make yourself some Gumbo. Either Filet' Gumbo or okra gumbo if you like okra. I make mine a combo if everyone that is eating it likes okra. It's all in the roux.

I have made Seafood Gumbo before and loved It. I can't get on with Okra. My Turkish pals use It a lot In cooking and I really don't like It.

Stew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy. Ingredients in a stew can include any combination of vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, beans, peppers and tomatoes, etc.), meat, especially tougher meats suitable for slow-cooking, such as beef. Poultry, sausages, and seafood are also used. While water can be used as the stew-cooking liquid, wine, stock, and beer are also common. Seasoning and flavourings may also be added. Stews are typically cooked at a relatively low temperature (simmered, not boiled), allowing flavors to mingle.
Cajun chicken is just chicken cooked using certain spices just as curried chicken is chicken cooked using certain spices. It's not magic you know.

It's stew with rice added rather than cooked seperately.
I'm having haggis pizza for tea tomorrow yum yum. I suppose you'll al try to tell me it's not really pizza because the meat is from a haggis.
Culinary philistines the lot of you. Mind you my first taste of a pizza was a deep fried one was years before I axctually had a "proper" one.

When I was In the States once, I had some Cajun sticky chicken and I can't find a decent recipe.

I don't mind lightly seasoned food, but spices are an absolute no-no for me. Even the smell of them makes me feel ill & I've found that if I get too close to Cardamon seeds (? - little green pod thingies), I have a violent reaction, with painful tears stinging my eyes, and shortness of breath.
I far prefer supposedly 'bland' food, with far more subtle flavours which I can savour, not having had my taste buds burnt away.

This Is my favourite store...Yes, It does have a Halal butcher Inside but we don't go In that area.... here you can buy spices that supermarkets have probably never heard of and cheap. I go here for my Scotch Bonnets, Star Anise, Cajun spices etc etc even Caribbean spices for Jerk chicken.
I don't like hot hot as In heat. I like spice, aroma, taste.

It is a long held, but incorrect notion that Cajun food must be spicy hot.
While much of the Cajun food found in popular eateries, these days, is spicy, seasoned with an overpowering collection of spices, the average Cajun actually prefers food with more subtle flavorings.
It is not so much about the spices, as the natural flavors of the food itself. Shrimp and Crawfish have a very delicate flavor and heavy spices quickly overwhelm them.

Thats true of Indian food too. While much has a bit of heat and some can blow your head off, there are still plenty of dishes that are mild enough that my elderly mum would eat it ( her favourite happens to be Chicken Dhansak, which can be hot)
Personally, I'm not averse to a bit of sweating and nose running.

I found It similar to making Paella but I haven't made that so much of late after the stories In the media of what's been found In Morrison's fish. Things that shouldn't be there, being there. I must find a new shell fish outlet.

My Uncle Patrice told me the reason they came up with all the spicy seasoning goes back to the old days in the tropics, before men invented refrigerators. The Spice was needed to hide the taste of the meat beginning to spoil. We always ate fresh-caught, fresh-kilt critters when living with Uncle Patrice.

I must admit I'm that into fish (apart from the occasional Haddock & Chips), but I don't really see what all the fuss it about. It's just part of the natural eco-circle. Personally, if anything, I'd find it's presence more reassuring, as it tends to indicate the lack of man's intervention. So, the parasite lives in the mouth & gills. Do you eat the mouth & gills?
