1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt

Gradually add the cold sparkling water, stirring until the batter is smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, buttermilk in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the buttermilk, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
