The charcoal grilled octopus felt blanched a minute overdue; its meat lacking flavor and tenacity; no trace of smokiness one often looks for (even so much as hopes for) in such a dish. In place is a lingering bitterness of creosote caused by over-grilling. The croquetas, while deliciously crisp, bore no sign of the promised shrimps and scallops. The seafood béchamel, however, melts in the mouth beautifully. This would've been near perfect had it contained juicy chunks of shrimps and scallops.
