von's at santa monica and robertson has them. 99 ranch markets do too-check out the one at Sepulveda and Victory.

Sorry, folks. There was more to this message but somehow it didn't get posted. And yes, thank you, it was a koan. No, seriously, I was looking for places to buy them. Thanks.

Any large asian market (e.g., 99 ranch) will have plenty of quail eggs.

You can also buy quail eggs at the poultry counter in the 3rd Street Farmer's Market.

Also, Japanese markets (like brunello suggested) should carry them, but I recall seeing them at most Asian markets in general.

What neighborhood are you in?

[brunello]

On the westside, I usually find quail eggs at Nijiya Market on Sawtelle.

My preferred method for having quail eggs is always raw (or cracked on hot rose rice with toasted sesame seeds, bonito flakes and soy sauce.)

I saw them in the refrigerator at Nanay's Seafood Market in LA.

well, if you're wondering where to get them I have seen them at Surfa's in Culver City and also at the Pavilion market in Culver City.
If you're looking for something to do with them, I saw this article with recipes (Bon Appétit, March 2007), which suggested pickling them and serving them in a martini, served along with homemade potato chips drizzled with white truffle oil, Parmesan, parsley and fresh cracked pepper. Sounded pretty good to me, so it's stuck in my head since then, but I'm sure there are many many uses.

Bob? Was there more to this message? It's a bit of a koan, as it stands.

Koan? I don't get it? :)

But in reply (& it will not help you), I buy them at my local Loblaws grocery store. Amazingly they are a regularly stocked item. Don't ask me why?
