The traditional method for preparing sushi requires slices of raw fish to be held over unlit fires in order to secure that signature “uncooked” flavor. Explore such innovative foodsmithing with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of fresh sushi, seasonal fare, and drinks at Suro in Oldsmar.

Suro pairs a sushi menu filled with fresh selections with a seasonally changing dinner menu. The spring and summer menu featured festive first-course options, like the barbecue-glazed bacon-wrapped shrimp ($9), and the crispy duck spring rolls ($9), while Suro’s mighty main fare pleased protein-lovers, like the Dijon and panko-crusted rack of lamb served over a parsnip puree and drizzled with blueberry-port demi glace ($25), or dayboat sea scallops served over corn fondue and chorizo ($24). Suro also offers pearly portions of fresh nigiri and sashimi ($2+), alongside rolled classics ($5+) and artfully constructed maki. Conquer culinary mountains by ordering the Mount Fuji, a swaddled tuna, salmon, and snapper creation with fresh veggies flash-fried and topped with Suro’s house lava sauce.

Sip one of the decadent dessert cocktails, such as a frosty Key-lime-pie cocktail with fresh lime juice, vanilla vodka, and a graham-cracker-rimmed crust ($7), while gazing at the chic and stylish eatery's reflective floors and exposed-bamboo walls. For those who prefer a less desserty drink, Suro has an extensive selection of wines, represented with words on the wine list.
