CRAZY RED SHRIMP turns swordfish orange! How to clean a 280 lb pumpkin swordfish!

We caught this 280 lb swordfish in Mid January 2020. It was a "pumpkin" with orange meat, which is caused by a heavy diet of royal red shrimp! These are deep water shrimp and we don't see tons of them but it's always cool when we do! We core the swordfish and ice it overnight in the YETI. The following day we fillet it and Adam from Islamorada Fish Freight takes it to package and ship to Earl and his friends.
