Cajun Gumbo

2 tsp. Fillet powder
2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 cup chopped celery
2 or 3 Tbsp. oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 quart of water
1 small can tomatoes or 1 fresh tomato chopped
1 small can Red Salmon
1/2 lb. Shrimp

Brown 2 teaspoon flour in oil in large saucepan. Add chopped onion to taste and saute; 1 teaspoon salt and 1 quart of water, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 cup of chopped celery, small can tomatoes (1 cup). Too much tomato kills all other flavors; or use one fresh tomato, chopped. Add 1 small can Red Salmon, Shrimp is optional. Bring all to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1hour. Season with Fillet (sassofras) powder just before serving. Serve with cornbread and rice.
