Agreed, I lived in Trikala and Athens for close to a year and never heard of this "pick your own fish" option. In fact, I was surprised by how unpopular fish seemed to be. In Thessaloniki all we ate were gyros and pizzas (poor students), the restaurant owner who served us in Nafpaktos was proud to call his town "the meat capital" of the country, on a trip to Delphi and Olympia we just had the typical meat and roasted vegetable/salad shared meal, and in Crete my friends told me the best thing was rabbit stew. Either way, we had only meat in both Heraklion and Chania. In Rhodes we were told by a souvenir seller that they ate "everything", but that octopus was the best... until they all got eaten. The deer were also good, but those got eaten as well... so gyros for us there too. The two seafood meals I do remember were at the base of Poseidon's temple in Sounion (a small, pretty dodgy Russian café at which we ate because it was the only thing there and the bus wasn't coming back for another hour), and traveling in downtown Corfu in the middle of their deadest season and being offered some pink fish the size of a shoe for €50. We ended up getting some fresh prawns and pizzas for much, much cheaper. The marble and roses and Venetian influence were well worth the rip-off attempt though. I'm not saying no one eats fish there, just I had ample time to see it if it were the case and, well, nope. Very surprising for a peninsula, but then I just figured they were overfished. What I did learn though is that my absolute favourite Greek food is their simple salad. You can literally taste the sun.
