MAMA'S SEAFOOD GUMBO

Mama's Seafood Gumbo image

I'm posting this for safe keeping. My mama makes the best gumbo I have ever tasted. I haven't known anyone who didn't think this was the best!! It does not require a roux, as many gumbo recipes do. I usually double this recipe and freeze.

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 sprigs parsley, chopped
