Then there is this link- it says in stock but I don't see any way of adding it to the cart.

It isn't kosher. They import it from France. But the law, according to Wikipedia, doesn't prohibit importing foie gras if it was produced outside of CA.
I don't mean to bicker, but I stand corrected. Sale and production of foie gras is illegal in California however, consumption is. To quote Wikipedia "The state of California has also prohibited the production and sale of foie gras, effective 1 July 2012.[71][72] Violators will receive a $1,000 fine. Some restaurant owners have declared they plan to use a loophole in the new law; if restaurant goers bring in their own foie gras, restaurants may legally prepare and serve it.[73]"

I don't think any food establishment in CA is selling foie gras. Period.

I have no idea, I'm just an avid googler. This is what I see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_foie_gras_law

"The law does not prohibit the consumption of foie gras, giving it as a gift or its importation from outside California."

That website is outdated as heck! They're still selling Israeli foie gras which was outlawed there in '05. http://www.caviarideas.com/kowhgoli0lb.html (Still in stock!)

Yeah. That what I'm saying. That Otto's place is located in CA. So it doesn't make sense they're selling.

I think Chagall had it on their menu once. Maybe ask the chef if he could make it for you...

Maybe they used to. Today they have fake foie gras. On their menu: "Brioche of duck pâté" -duck pâté but not the real thing. "Filet mingon 'Rossini'....poultry foie gras" -yup. That's chicken foie gras, not the real thing.

 https://heritagekosher.com/about-us/ this company is a new one. Don't know of they offer anything for sale yet but read their zman advertorial and sounded interesting.

It is one of the poorest Hechsher's I have seen, if it can even be called a legitimate hechsher...

I just heard that they are killing 600 of these birds with OU hechsher next week.

So you will be able to find it on the market.
