MIAMI — The feeding frenzy begins before the mermaids swim into view.

Cocktails flow like the outgoing tide around the darkened Wreck Bar, designed to look like a Spanish galleon resting on the ocean floor. Fish circle in brightly lit aquariums on the perimeter. Platters of ceviche, calamari and tiradito are served. Also, more drinks!

A DJ leads a rowdy crowd in a game of Name That Tune that turns into a singalong of “Summer Nights” from “Grease,” women belting out their best Olivia Newton-John, men doing that “well-a well-a well-a well” chorus that has been stuck in everyone’s head for 40 years, even if they weren’t born when that movie came out.
