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.
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.
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.
