At the same restaurant, my daughter had a meat platter with the immortal French fries. Although Salema is a village of octopus fisherman, and they were out at night checking their traps, I found octopus only once on a menu there — and that was in a salad (superb) at the local ice-cream café. Apparently, the octopuses go to some non-local market, just as the bluefin tuna from Cape Cod go mostly to Japan.
