Top 5 seafood chowders and stews

5. Seafood gumbo at REEL Seafood in Woodstock, Ga. Chef David Silverman’s take on gumbo features andouille sausage, crawfish, shrimp and the day’s fresh hardfish cuts. “I get a lot of compliments from New Orleans natives, who liken mine to the ‘best gumbo’ they had 30 some years ago and as close to authentic as they have had in years,” Silverman said. “The andouille, fresh okra, ground sassafras, fresh peppers, tomatoes and onions are key ingredients.”
