The sea has much to teach us: its tides foretell the lunar cycle, its salt treats us to delicious shark jerky, and its colorful creatures prove that nature looks better in Blu-ray. Celebrate the big salty puddle's sagacity with today's Groupon: for $15 you get $30 worth of dinner at Pelican Bay Oyster Bar & Grill.

Pelican Bay Oyster Bar & Grill shrugs off its landlocked setting with an extensive seafaring menu.
