I probably don't do this when I'm playing but I think you can consider folding too. I think 3betting is bad, HJ has a strong range of which we block his folding range and you haven't actually said how the fish responds to 3betting.
Flatting puts is in an awkward spot post flop, if the HJ applies pressure on most flops we struggle (postflop reads are important too btw) and we don't have the position to exploit the fish postflop either. We're put in a lot of spots where we face a cbet from the HJ and want to fold or the HJ doesn't cbet and the fish gets to see free cards. I'd much prefer flatting hands that play postflop in this situation and 3betting stuff with blockers as if the fish calls 3bets wide our 3bet bluffing range wants to block HJs calling/shoving range and play well against the fish which I think hands like A3s do.
So I'm going to suggest folding, unless we have postflop reads we can take advantage of.
