Welcome.
I see you're in Mississauga. The Asian market where dragon and big al's is will have some. They sell by the pound. Smallest I've seen there appeared to be 8-9" and largest was around 20"

Your best bet is the asian market called yuan ming. I've been to that supermarket and they always have like 40 bowfins at 8 to 9 inches for sale. They are like 4 bucks a pound (or less). I bet it's like 15 bucks a fish or something close like that. As for Dragons aquarium and Big Al's missisuaga, i wouldn't bother asking because they would just order one or 2 bowfins for you cuz they won't make the money. They might just tell you to fish for one LOL. It's from a personal experience with both stores.

I don't remember the name of the supermarket in the plaza of dragon. Is it yuan Ming or yuan Ming a different one??

It might not be bowfin at an asian market that might be snakehead cause snakehead are asian. Just double check.
