Your best bet is probably the St. Lawrence Market. Or try the St. Lawrence Farmer's Market (which is only open Saturday mornings) located in the white bubble on the south west corner of The Esplanade and Lower Jarvis.

Fiddleheads are great with a Thai peanut sauce.
 
Cant say for sure in Toronto but I saw some at the Burnhamthorpe Market last weekend. They are on the SE corner of Dixie and Burnhamthorpe in Mississauga
 
Fiesta Farms has them and also the fruit and veg market at corner of Bloor and Palmerston.
 
Both the greengrocers at Logan and Danforth had them earlier this week.
 
I don't think they're coming to an end.

If you go to The Royal Conservatory of Music, you can get them all year round.
 
...or you could always go for a hike in the woods??? Great time of year for ferns if your looking for fiddleheads 100% free! ������

It isn't as difficult as mushrooms, but you do need to be able to tell Ostrich ferns from other species.
 
Saw them at Loblaws on Dupont and Christie today. There was a warning posted to cook them before eating. They looked gross.

If they looked over the hill it is almost certainly because they were.

As to cooking them absolutely they will give you the worst stomach bowel cramps in the world if you don't (poisonous, although not deadly) and the water after you've steamed them looks like an scene from a live action version of poisoning the apple from Snow White.

Seems like a very manly thing to eat. I have nothing to prove, so I will pass on the Pteridophytes.

I found some Morels last week. They were delicious.

I love Morels. Sauté in garlic and butter. Yum!!!

MLG Loblaws has fresh ones when in season which is now.
