If these are the dried kind, i'd guess you'd need to go to a Chinese
store where they're often sold on the candy aisle along with
sweet-and-salty cuttlefish shreds. Here in California they are often
sold in regular supermarkets.
Saying they're "pickled" makes me think they're moist. If so, there's
a Japanese variety called Umeboshi - "ume" (pronounced like oo-may)
means plum - or "salt plums" that are also sold in health food stores
in little glass jars, which you may find more easily than a Chinese
market, depending on where you live.
