Cretan food

So since we are in a large island in the Mediterranean, we thought
seafood was a necessary part of our diet. We found a decent
restaurant and took a look at the menu. There was basic stuff like
fish spaghetti, shrimp and mussells. But we thought, let's go crazy,
we're in Crete. So we ordered octopus (previous post) and something
called "Atherian". I figured it must be some kind of fish and I'd get
a nice filet of something I'd never tried. Not quite. It was fish,
all right, but not as delectable-looking as I'd hoped. I'm still not
sure how you are supposed to eat them but we picked most of them apart
and they weren't terrible. I ate a couple whole--I don't recommend it.
