Use Cornstarch or Rice Flour
Michael says that cornstarch or rice flour in combo with flour will give you the crunchiest batter. Even cake four will cook up crunchier than all-purpose flour because it doesn’t have a high gluten level.
Rice flour coating – Dust fish with rice flour, shaking off excess. This is an additional crispiness insurance policy, which will soak up any residual moisture on the flesh of the fish. I use rice flour because it cooks up more crisp than flour. Make batter just before frying so it’s as cold and fizzy as possible.
Dip fish pieces into the flour, turning to coat all sides, and shake off excess flour. The flour will help the batter stick to the fish. Next, dip the fish into the batter, turning to coat all sides.

Why is my batter not sticking?
Excess flour will create a coating that prevents the egg mixture from latching on to the chicken, which ultimately will prevent the breading from sticking properly. For crispy, flavorful chicken, make sure to remove any excess flour before proceeding.
Dry flour doesn’t stick to itself very well, so if a too-thick initial dredging creates clump-like layers of flour that aren’t well moistened, in the relative violence of the fryer the dry interior of those clump-like layers will separate from each other and your breading will flake off.
