After properly cooking a lobster, its once-brown exoskeleton turns bright red, letting chefs know that it's both ready to serve and profoundly embarrassed for showing up without pants. Make a meal of deliciously mortified seafood with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of fried catfish, steaks, and more at Catfish Sam's, located in Arlington.

Catfish Sam's fry-masters hush grumbling bellies with a hearty menu of fried catfish, charbroiled steaks, and homemade desserts. Broiled lemon-pepper catfish ($13.49) beckons ravenous forks atop a fluffy bed of rice pilaf, and the cornmeal-coated and golden-fried all-you-can-eat catfish dinner ($18.99) keeps tummies happy and full. Beef buffs can dunk broiled bites of New York charbroiled steak in zesty garlic sauce (14 oz. for $16.99) or pair strip steak with a trio of jumbo shrimp ($21.49). Before diners surrender their silverware, homemade treats such as Butterfinger pie and lemon ice-box pie (whole pie, $12.95 each) allow them to indulge in a appetite-destroying dessert rather than going home to consume the model of the Palace of Versailles made out of Rice Krispies Treats.
