Aggie's Pickle Mignionette

Share this with a friend!

There’s something undeniably elegant about East Coast oysters—briny, bright, and kissed by the cold Atlantic waters that give them their signature character. Each shell offers a taste of the sea: crisp, clean, and irresistibly fresh. Whether enjoyed at a celebratory gathering or a casual afternoon indulgence, oysters have a way of turning any moment into an occasion. Paired with Aggie's pickle mignonette, they become the perfect balance of refinement and fun—a little luxury best enjoyed one slurp at a time.

To elevate the experience even further, serve these East Coast oysters alongside a beautifully chilled glass of Ontario Sauvignon Blanc. Its bright flavours of grapefruit, citrus, gooseberry, and fresh-cut herbs bring a lively freshness that perfectly complements the oyster’s crisp, briny character. For those who prefer a slightly softer expression, an Ontario Riesling is equally delightful, offering vibrant notes of green apple, lime, and citrus blossom with refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral finish. Together, the oysters, Aggie's pickle mignonette, and local wine create a distinctly Canadian pairing.

1/3 cup Champagne vinegar (or unseasoned rice wine vinegar)

2 Tbsp Sauvignon Blanc

2 Tbsp Aggie's dilly pickles brine

1 Tbsp shallot, very finely diced

2 Tbsp Aggie's dilly pickles, finely diced

1 tsp freshly shaved horseradish

¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

1 pinch of salt

Combine: In a small bowl, whisking together the Champagne vinegar, Sauvignon Blanc, and Aggie's dilly pickle brine.
Mix: Stir in the finely diced shallot, Aggie's diced dilly pickles, black pepper and salt.
Marinate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Spoon a small amount (about ½ to 1 teaspoon) over freshly shucked east coast oysters.

May every oyster be fresh, every spoonful of Aggie’s Pickle Mignonette delightfully tangy, and every bite a celebration of good food, good company, and coastal flavor. Raise a glass, savor the moment, and enjoy the simple pleasure of oysters done right. Cheers!
