ITM spot, what to do????

I fold, hoping the fish wins! Calling makes post flop play difficult as hard to fold.
Maybe against a careful?/tight? player you could shove to try & force sb out.
Seems unlikely due to stack sizes.

Love to hear your expert opinion on what action to take and more importantly why?

You"ve labelled the SB as a fish, and his flat call in this spot with the BB still to act is awful.
If he has a big hand, he should be isolating to get a HU showdown..... or to get more of your chips in to create a side pot if you choose to call once he"s raised. So, I pretty much discount a big hand - knowing the way most weak fish play this spot, he probably has a raggy ace that he thinks is ahead of the button"s shove range.
For you I would hate folding - you have a semi-premium hand and are probably ahead of the SB.... folding to hope for a ladder jump would be lame.
The fish probably thinks you should call to make it a 2 v 1 showdown and to improve the chance of knocking the shortstack out.
I jam to take a headsup showdown with the shortstack in a pot that is juiced by the fish"s weak call - I have to assume he folds most hands when you jam. However, if he happens to make a ropey call with a raggy ace or overcards, you are racing to win the tourney.
Never folding. Hate flatting. Jam FTW.
