Baked redfish swelling up

Has anyone ever witnessed this? I’ve seen it happen a few times when cooking bigger reds in the oven. The meat swells up to a cauliflower-like mess and gets spongy
ETA baking on the half shell. Meat side up

They had a few. I usually pick them out, but even when I don’t the meat looks fine after cooking. Could that be what’s swelling them up? If so, I’m assuming I shouldn’t eat them

What do you call bigger reds? Over 25"? 30"?
For larger reds, 25-30", I usually make ceviche with them. I find the firmer meat on those reds hold up better to the lime juice. If I'm cooking them, I will cut into manageable pieces. I've seen them puff up and round over some, but certainly not swelling like you are describing.
Are you putting any marinade or rub on them?
Reds over 30" go back to make more babies.

Yea I’m talking about the 25-30” range. I usually just season with Tony’s, garlic, butter, and lemon juice. I cut a few slits into the meat before cooking. I’ve done this hundreds of times, but last night was only the 2nd time I’ve seen the meat swell up like I’m describing.
