Stewby’s Seafood gumbo is one of our top selling menu items. It is a fan favorite and a family favorite recipe as well.

Later on, it was perfected by the owner and added to Stewby’s Seafood Shanty original menu 8 years ago, in fort walton. Since 2012 Stewby’s has been selling this delicious gumbo nonstop! One thing that has never changed however, is these use of on the freshest, local seafood for our gumbo and continuing to serve it at local prices. Full of flavor, overflowing with fresh local seafood, our customers can’t get enough and neither can we! Especially every year when the cool weather comes back around in destin fl, there is nothing more comforting for a seafood lover than a fresh, hot bowl of seafood gumbo!
