Hi Scorpians, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
Not being a tropical plant enthusiast I have no way of ID'ing your palm without a picture. There are a couple of members who might be able to tho.
But in the meantime can you post a picture of your palm? Like the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words"

 Hello Scorpians ~
I agree with Toni, a photo would be most helpful,
but reading your words, "... sort of like a fish tail"
 the first thing I thought of was Caryota palm,
which is commonly called "Fishtail Palm" and sometimes sold as a tropical houseplant.

If the growing circumstances are less than ideal,
they sometimes are not as full and leafy as they could be. 
I've seen them growing in shopping mall planters,
where the light levels are rather low,
and they sometimes only have a few leaves at the top of a very long reed-like stem.
In tropical climates they can grow to be massive Palm trees.
