Hmmm. in fact i have another perception regarding the term fishtailing. From what i've seen fishtailing happens at the end of the oversteer (drift) especially on cars with no LSD (we are talkin about rwd) and once the oversteer ends and the inner wheel that has less traction begins to achieve traction from the mass that's applied to it, that wheel will suddenly make a judder, it will send a bump acting like the fish-tail.

For better understanding see Top Gear 535d test.
