Default Chard

A stall in our market (Cambridge) is selling a delicious type of chard
unknown to me. They do not seem to know anything about it, so I wondered
if anyone might recognise it. The whole plant is a bit paler than the
usual one and the green part of the leaves is much fleshier. The stalks
are pale green rather than white. It is never the slightest bit bitter.
Overall it looks kind of silvery as if it has been grown by the sea. Any
ideas?

Sea Kale?
