Call and make a note.

This guy is obviously a fish. I would raise OTF and shove with smile on my face (if not OTF then OTT). He could have a 3 in his hand but most of the time he will be calling with any Kx and even with all his worse pairs (33-JJ) which we are crushing and he is almost always on his 2 outs to the river. In my mind set this is type of hand that Im never ever folding against a guy with 80+ VPP (no matter the sample size of only 27 hands) and Im happy to get it in as soon as I can!

You can call this down but since villain looks fishy and probably calls too much 3bets I think it is ok to raise and try to get it in.

I think that with raising you take out the possibility of him bluffing more. I like to call down.

In this particular case yes - optimal play was to call it down. In other cases you're missing a ton of value and I would always prefer a raise.
