Soak salted cod fish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

Drain and rinse the salted cod fish, then boil in fresh water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Flake the cooked salted cod fish into small pieces, removing any bones.

In a mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking powder, and thyme.

Add the flaked salted cod fish, chopped onion, sweet pepper, scallions, garlic paste, scotch bonnet, cilantro, and corn to the dry ingredients.

Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Gradually add water to form a thick batter, adjusting as necessary.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove fish cakes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
