LOUISIANA FISH FRY MIX JAMBALAYA 7.5 OZ

We tried this product when our regular one wasn’t available at the local grocery store. This is so much better than Zatarain’s! I highly recommend this product. The one for red beans and rice is also phenomenal.

Great taste in easy directions to follow

I made my first batch almost like Hamburger Helper, just added veggies (mushrooms, bell pepper, onions) and 1 lb. lean hamburger. It cooked up exactly as promised and was neither watery nor gooey thick. I plan to use chicken, beef, and pork for future "non-sausage" jambalaya. Paired well with a simple red-wine blend.

This was easy to make. My husband LOVED it but I am a picky eater so I thought it was alright hence the 4 out of 5 stars.

Not great. It is what I think a person from Rome would say if he/she ate at Olive Garden.

Those who have never experienced life south of I10 in Louisiana for an extennded period, rarely see any difference between the two, CaJun or Creole. Creoles are and were the upper class in New Orleans. Their background is upper class French mixed with American Indian and hints of other races. Cajuns are french refuges from Canada who were forcefully removed from their homes and after multiple harrowing experiences were finally forced, by the British, into Southern Louisiana west of New Orleans. The cooking styles of the two very different ethnic backgrounds are also definitely different even if they do overlap in some areas. This product "Louisiana Fish Fry - Cajun Jambalaya Mix" is real Cajun style jambalaya mix. This is the mix used by many of my Cajun friends and is the only one I've found that tastes like from scratch Cajun jambalaya.For truly Cajun style jambalaya, whatever meat you use with the mix (They use a VERY wide variety of meats.) should augmented with andouille sausage. We all have our favorite andouille sausage but no general agreement on which is the best. Andouille sausage was brought to Louisiana by German settlers. It both quite smoky and spicy hot but not too hot. Hot is Cajun; too hot is for tourists wanting Cajun but not knowing suffering hot is not necessarily or truly Cajun. The average Cajun dish is hot enough to bring out the pepper's other flavors but not hot enough to cause permanent physical damage to the tongue or other mouth parts.

The product is a familiar one and have been used by my family for years as a favorite. I was happy to find that Amazon supplied the item

Arrived open. And was all over the other box. Couldn’t use.
