Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into small chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Add the cod chunks and finely chopped parsley to the batter, ensuring each piece of cod is well coated.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully spoon small portions of the battered cod into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the cod puffs for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked cod puffs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cod puffs hot with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
