Add additional water if necessary to reach proper consistency. Add hot pepper and Worchestershire sauce. Bring to boil. Add raw shrimp, oysters and okra.
Cook over low heat for about 2 hours. Boil crabs. Discard back shell and break into pieces. Add crab claws and body to gumbo. Serve with rice and file powder.
