Pats ingredient list is extensive to say the least. I was up there a month or so ago and needed to push my purchase over a certain amount and he offered the gumbo, I asked him what was in it and he pulled it up on the computer and showed me, WOW. I would much rather purchase from a local fish store and help them stay in business and prosper then from a foreign place. Not to mention I think pats gumbo has rod trumped.
