Where can I get duck gizzards in Los Angeles area?

I need eight (8) duck gizzards and/or duck hearts for a recipe for a dinner party. I don't want to buy whole ducks just for the gizzards. I have tried Gelsons, Marcondas, Puritan Poultry, Whole Foods, Bristol Farms and Mitsuwa. If possible, I'd like to find them between downtown and Santa Monica. Any ideas? Thanks.

    My local 99 Ranches in Irvine always have them. I suspect the Chinese poultry purveyors in Chinatown will also have them, but I can't say for sure.

      Thanks so much for the quick reply. I called four Chinatown places and no dice. I was hoping to avoid driving too far (I'm on the west side), but I called 99 Ranch in Van Nuys and they do have them, so unless I find something closer, that is the choice. Thanks so much suggestion.

        I went to the 99 Ranch in Van Nuys this morning and that was an eye-opening experience. It was a cook's dream. It was worth driving there on the hottest day of the year. Thank you so much.
