Blood meal is water soluble. It will be liquid the first time it gets wet.

To produce good crops of tuberous vegetables, you need repeat applications of nitrogen and phosphate.
Controlling soil-borne pests of tuberous vegetables is problematic. Keeping the pH near 6.0 -- particularly in the nitrogen source will discourage them.

If you are concerned about the quality of Fish Emulsion, then I think you'd be horrified at the pharmaceuticals in blood meal and the metal content of volcanic ash.
