Let's reply to two at once.
Gatour, I think you're right about it being trendy in the 80's and then falling out of favor.
Dopey, to Gatour's point, it seems this dish was very popular in the 80's and has fallen out of favor, hence no big shells being stocked.
The good news is, it's not that difficult to make and you can substitute creme brulee remkins for the shells, so I might be trying it soon.
