Label or USDA database?

Sometimes the nutrition label on my product is different from what's on the USDA calorie database.
For Example, I have catfish that the bad says has 100 calories for 112 grams but the US site says that it's around 150ish.
I've always heard to go with the package but now I'm confused. What do you do?

No, the USDA site says around 100 calories. For raw.0

Go with the package. USDA information is generic in nature, the package is for the specific brand in question.0
