Season each cod fillet with salt and ground black pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the fish fillets.
Dip each seasoned cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fried fillets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Lightly toast the burger buns.
Spread a tablespoon of dairy-free tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer a lettuce leaf over the tartar sauce, then place a fried fillet on top.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the fillet.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
