Travelers love stopping in Kensington on their way through San Diego. It is well-known for seafood since it's near the coast of California. The clams, lobster, tuna, and other seafood are fresh at marketplaces and restaurants. Fish sandwiches are local favorites, and the fish may be gently seared or fully cooked. It is also served raw in the forms of sushi, sashimi, and ceviche at many fusion restaurants. Kensington is also home to mom and pop stores on the east end. These small eateries have been in business for decades, and they are highly regarded here. This neighborhood has a mix of old and adventurous when it comes to cuisine.
