  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add cod and continue to boil until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain, transfer fish to a bowl, and shred with 2 forks.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to fish with water and eggs. Mix flour and baking soda together and add to fish mixture, stir in black pepper and cayenne.

  3. Measure out scoops of mixture with a tablespoon. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium to low heat. Fry fritters in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, flattening out with the back of a spoon.
