Answers:
Fish with Jambalaya!.!.!.!? it's not right if there's no fish in it!.!.!.!.!.!!!!!
and as for your second question it all depends on the fish you use some can be cooked for long periods and retain moisture and texture where others breakdown so quick it would just me a mushy mess!.!.!.!.!.!.
in that sense add the fish to a near complete jambalaya and time it to cook the fish * size of cuts matters here* according to the variety, shellfish ie mussels and clams can be added earlier on to steam them better as for shrimp or other delicate fish add it last minute and pull it from the heat just before the fish looks cooked all the way* because it will continue to cook in the pan after leaving the heat*
the biggest mistake would be to overcook the fish and end up with mushy or rubber fish!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
keep that in mind and you can add fish to anything but here's another chef trick * the longer an oily fish is cooked the more FISHY it tastes* so keep it quick and simple and enjoy!.!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yep just make sure its a firm whitefish, add it in near the end of cooking!. Fish doesn't take long to cook, I'd put it in about the same time the crawfish go in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
