What should grilled octopus cooked with olives taste like?

I recently had some grilled octopus with olives, olive oil, peppers, tomato paste, oregano, some lemon, and bread crumbs. I like both squid and octopus but I’ve only eaten cooked squid. The octopus I had tasted like marinated olives with some sweetness from the tomatoes and peppers.

I think I expected to taste the natural flavor of the octopus in harmony with the ingredients but I couldn’t. Is that normal or does cooked octopus naturally taste a lot like one of the ingredients I mentioned?
