Most common seafood in Greece?

What is the most common seafood in Greece?

I recall having an abundance of delicious, fresh caught seafood but I can't remember the names of most of the fish. I had delicious octopus and that's the only thing I remember for sure.

I am going to Greece again - I thought I would try to figure what are some fish and other seafood, besides octopus, that I should look forward to?

I see octopus everywhere. I think I may have eaten fresh sardines at one point. Maybe some calamari and a different kind of lobster, too...

- Sardines
- Anchovies
- Calamari
- Shrimp
- Mussels
- Red Mullet
- Sea Bream
- Sea Bass
- Cuttlefish

I don't know what is the most common, but I know what I like!

- grilled or braised octopus
- sea mullet
- small fresh, deep fried sardines
- basically anything fresh caught
