The hopeless romantics of the sea world, male crabs, will happily baste in their own broth for the chance to reunite with their chowder-bound sweethearts. Help a crustacean make a love meeting with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one of three fresh seafood party platters at Island Seafood Market in St. Petersburg (a $75 value).

This St. Petersburg eatery piles plates high with edible gold mined from the ocean's most flavorful depths, with party platters designed to accommodate diverse groups of party gills. Your Groupon is good for one of the following three party trays:

• Chilled lobster tails with seared ahi tuna and Asian-style green beans
• Grilled shrimp and scallops with fresh mango salsa and jasmine rice
• Mini crab and salmon cakes served in crispy, oven-baked mounds

Reel in a plate of flaky, juicy fish for a beach-themed New Year's party or an all-night Flipper marathon. Groupon customers must order platters 72 hours in advance. Island Seafood Market is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Reviews

Take a look at what the St. Petersburg Times says about Island Seafood Market:

• A trio of sandwiches proves good eating: A crab pita, a lobster roll and a Philly fish cheesesteak each showcases nice ingredients. This last was a head-scratcher, the peppers-onions-cheese strange theoretical bedfellows for a meaty plank of just-grilled mahi, but it worked, a lively chili saucelike condiment and a warm crusty roll bringing it together. – Laura Reiley, St. Petersburg Times
