Does anyone know where they can still be found?

They often have them at the North End street fairs. But I would love to find a place like you describe! I hope someone comes through.

My grandmother actually made what she referred to as, (sic) Tarals, bagel sized versions - always with fennel seeds. She'd start with boiling them on the stove ,which had gas burners on one side and a wood-stoked fire compartment on the other.
