Kabayaki (grilled eel or similar long slender fish), which is cooked by broiling and dipping the fish in sauce alternately, can be referred to as yakizakana or a type of teriyaki, but generally it is not regarded as yakizakana and considered to be another type of dish.
ウナギ等をタレに浸けながら焼く蒲焼は、焼き魚（照り焼きの一種）と言えるが、一般的には焼き魚と見なされず、別の調理法とされている。
