Jersey potatoes

I,m sure we,ve touched on this topic before but memory isn,t what it used to be!
Had some Jersey potatoes the other day. They tasted awful and weren,t the traditional kidney shape I remember from my childhood. Seem to remember reading something about the EU banning the use of seaweed as fertiliser as something to do with the lack of distinctive flavour but that may be old wives tales. However, judging by the ones we have eaten recently they are certainly no longer worth paying a premium price for.
Have we just been unlucky in our purchases ?
