out of date!
Hi. There is this fish shop (a shop that sells fish) near my house, they also sell stuff like candy, so anyway i piked up a candybar and looked at the sell by date and it was like 3 months past it, so when i told the shop keeper he insisted there was nothing wrong with the sell by date, so i took a few pictures of the inside of the shop, and the backroom and then a picture of the out of date candybar(including the date) and left, is there anything i can do to report him and if so who do i report him to?

Is it really a sell-by date, or does it say something like "This product is best when consumed by 01-01-07"? There's a difference between dates stamped on a product to ensure that the food inside isn't rancid, and dates that are placed there by the manufacturer to ensure that it is sold while still fresh. The date on a candy bar definitely falls into the latter category.
If this guy were selling month-old fish, something that could actually be harmful, then you could report him to the FDA, but a candy bar isn't going to kill someone even if it's years past its sell date. The only people that are likely to care is the maker of the candy (Hershey, M&M Mars, or what have you) and then only if you could show them a whole shelf full of expired product, not just one. Think about it - it would probably cost them a few hundred bucks just to send an inspector to his store to verify the situation, and they're not likely to feel that it's worth it.
Incidentally, why would you want to report this guy for something as simple as an expired candy bar? It sounds awfully vindictive to me. Furthermore, if this case actually went to trial, he could probably use your pictures of his back room as evidence of your trespassing, and counter-sue.
Here's the best solution: Just stop shopping there. You won't have to worry any more about his expired candy, and I guarantee he won't miss you as a customer.
