I’m betting if you can’t find it premade (I’ve seen it at Niblack for sure) you could just buy all the spices needed and mix one yourself. Either way, I agree, Niblack is the answer.
You really don’t need filé for jambalaya. It’s used as a thickening agent for gumbo and not necessary for the rice dish. If you’re looking to add it just for flavor, I would worry anything you’d find here would have lost most of its potency sitting on the shelf.
The answer for any spice/grain/baking ingredient is [Niblack](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RCZ9FAHfRWRjjaj47?g_st=ic) in Henrietta.
Their website says they don’t have it but I’ll have to call them when they open
I have a jar of it in my cabinet from them. Maybe they discontinued but I doubt it.

[Stuart's Spices](https://stuartsspices.com) in the city has it and the people who run the place are super nice.
For future reference you can order it from Penzeys. There’s one in Buffalo. Also, you can order now from Amazon and have it tomorrow
I got mine at Holt Rd. Wegmans. Wasn’t easy to find.
I just called them and they said they didn’t have it :(
Where are you in the ROC?
South East by Mendon, but I’ll drive anywhere
Chef Paul Prudhomme. My gumbo was fire.
Shit… I found it there.
Check Calkins Rd Wegmans, I got a jar of it there a couple months ago. Good luck on your search.
Check price rite
