Grilled Striped Bass with Plums and Potato-Mushroom Papillotes

1 pound fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 pound hen-of-the-woods or oyster mushrooms, thickly sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tamari
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
4, 6-ounce striped bass fillets, skinned
2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
4 round purple plums, halved and pitted
watercress sprigs, for garnish

Light a grill. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. In a medium saucepan of
boiling, salted water, cook the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain and let cool. Peel the potatoes and halve them lengthwise.
Tear off four 20 by 14 inch sheets of parchment or foil. Spread equal
amounts of potatoes and mushrooms on half of each sheet. In a small bowl,
mix the tamari with the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Drizzle
over the potatoes and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Fold the
sheets over the vegetables and crimp to seal, if using parchment; if using
foil, fold in the edges to seal the packages. Transfer the papillotes to 2
baking sheets and bake for about 15 minutes, or until sizzling.
Drizzle the bass fillets with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle
with the rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the plums with
the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Grill the bass over high heat
until nicely charred and just cooked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill the
plums, cut side down, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the bass fillets and plums to plates. Set a papillote on each
plate and open it, pouring out the potatoes, mushrooms and any juices.
Watch out for the hot steam. Serve garnished with watercress.
Makes 4 servings.
