Sushi, like the best Halloween candy, is bite-size, colorful, and often filled with fish eggs. Make every day a holiday with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of sushi and Japanese fare at Maki Sushi Bar in Peabody.

The sushi chefs at Maki Sushi Bar hand roll traditional maki and slice slivers of sashimi, giving the menu a contemporary makeover with unique sauces and glazes. Thinly sliced, spiced, and marinated squid salad ($6.95) sambas in a refreshing sea of sesame oil and sesame seeds, and the seafood martini ($10.95) shakes up the classic cocktail with a glass brimming with cubed tuna, salmon, white tuna, white fish, and seaweed salad doused in a lemon-soy vinaigrette. The tempura-style Blizzard roll ($7.95) treats tongues to a torrent of fish and scallions drenched in white sauce and kabayaki glaze, as a similarly topped Sushi Pizza roll ($10.95) adds tuna and avocado to the mix to pay homage to Italy's famed guacamole canals. Bento boxes come with built-in white-rice racks, soup, salad, gyoza, cream-cheese-stuffed dumplings, vegetables, and a four-piece California roll, and can be joined by centerpieces such as panko-crusted striper bass ($16.95) or scallop teriyaki ($17.95).

Low lighting and wood floors snuggle up to minimally decorated coral and off-white walls, making Maki's matter-of-course mien comfortable for casual dates or sleepy seahorses. The sushi haven keeps its doors open Tuesday–Sunday for both lunch and dinner, but shutters shop from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday–Friday due to daily screenings of Gone With the Wind.
