Bitter/Sour/Seville Oranges. Has anyone seen them in Austin?

Sour O. So far, I have not found them. Thought I would inquire and
see whether anyone has a known source, sighting, or suggest.
Thanks,

Central Market sells them on and off. It may not be season though... I
think they are a winter crop.

Thank you Victor. I will inquire at CM as to the season and the
possibility of getting a box or two of them.

Hmm. That gives me an idea. I have a satsuma that has lately
developed a lot of suckers whose thorns suggest that they are not from
the graft scion. I understand that bitter orange is a popular graft
rootstock. Maybe I should leave this one to see what develops on the
shoots. I may have my own limited supply.

Thanks, I may try some in a recipe. I'll check at CM and Fiesta the
next time I am there.
What I am primarily interested in are the rinds/zest. That's my
reason for looking for the whole, fresh fruit.

FYI:
Naranja Agria - is bitter orange used in Mexican and other South
American cooking. In the U.S. look for Seville oranges or Seville
orange juice.
Bitter Orange Substitute
Diana Kennedy "From My Mexican Kitchen" offers this substitute for
bitter orange juice:
1 teaspoon grated Meyer lemon rind
2 tablespoons Meyer Lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Mix together and use as called for in your recipe. The mixture can be
stored for about 3 or 4 days, refrigerated.

Following up on my own post. Thanks again to all who suggested
sources for the juice or a substitute. I will try that sometime a
little later, but was mostly interested in the rind/zest.
So I emailed CM and they responded that they get Seville oranges in
limited quantities and for a short time, usually from mid December
through the end of January. So I guess that is when I will go
looking.

Well I did not see your post until the night before last and could not
get to CM until this morning. Found lots of Navel oranges and a few
that may have been Valencias, but could find nothing marked as
Seville/Bitter and no one who seemed to know anything about them. (the
latter being an increasingly frequent occurance at CM north)
Thanks for the info. I am still hoping that they will get some later
in the year. I would appreciate an update if you find them again. I
guess that it is time to devote my attention to Hatch chillies now.
