We count Ferris' as a local institution beloved by many. The oysters are good, the staff knowledgeable and you don't need to break into a bank to finance dinner. Half a pound of clams steamed in white wine, garlic, tomato and pepper is $6; a chicken or Portabello mushroom satay is $5. We love the Cioppino, a west coast bouillabaisse brimming with clams, prawns, mussels, crab leg, oysters and veg in a thick spicy tomato sauce. Save some cash for a bottle of Nelson Blackheart Oatmeal Stout ($4.50), the perfect drink to go along with oysters.
