Desperate: Where to Buy Foie Gras in Manhattan?

[foodmonk]

Hi, folks ...

I'm in a bit of a bind here. I'm looking for a place to buy foie gras in Manhattan (duck rather than goose) for preparation at home. I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?

Was at Ottomanelli's in Bleecker last Saturday and purchased some.

Citarella on the UWS near Fairway usually stock it. I got a full lobe last year around this time.

Ottomanelli's on Bleecker Street for fresh.

Buon Italia in Chelsea Market has it frozen and a little cheaper (it freezes well on account of the high fat content) - if you're using it for a mousse or sauce or something, you can get bags of odd sized frozen end-pieces, and they're fine.

Citarella and Grace's Marketplace on 3rd Ave and 71 St. usually have it.

I buy directly from hudsonvalleyfoiegras.com
You can get fresh or prepared duck foie gras of excellent quality, shipped very quickly.

Noted -- unfortunately, I don't have time to make an order, but I have saved this link for next time. Thank you!

Citarella has it normally: http://www.citarella.com/Product.asp?... In fact, most of your high-end groceries do. You might want to call in advance since a lot of stores lost stock courtesy of Sandy.

Thanks, I will give Citarella a try!

I asked for it at Citarella in the Village at the meat/poultry counter and the guy looked at me like I was insane. Finally, after I explained to him what I wanted, he sent me to the "counter near the smoked fish." I did not leave the establishment with fresh duck foie gras. Disappointed.
