El sushi era delicioso/rico.

I have feeling tastes use the imperfect.

You might be right on that, annierats. any ideas as to why?:) - viejito, Aug 6, 2012
Is it because taste like time are constantly repetitious?:) - viejito, Aug 6, 2012
You are making me question my own Spanish…this is horrible. Yikes! Just kidding. I sure would like to know the rule on that one.:) - viejito, Aug 6, 2012
I often find when referring to a subjective comment about a particular meal or a movie 'estar' is often used over 'ser' - 'estaba delicosa' - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 6, 2012

Does this help,

The imperfect tense refers to a past action that is:

indefinite (no definite start or end date) or continuous or repeated or took place over a period of time or started in the past but continues into the present.

As opposed to events or actions that took place at a specific point in time (described by the preterite).

You should use the imperfect whenever you wish to describe what used to happen or what happened regularly/periodically in the past.
