Begin by patting the haddock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and arrowroot powder.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soda water and egg until well blended.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually pour the whisked egg and soda water into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
Heat coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to add more oil to ensure a depth of about 1/4 inch.
Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly on all sides.
Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry each fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spatula to transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
