vim search string question with /" and \"

I'm trying to use
Code:
:%s/search string/replace string/g
in vim. The problem is that I'm trying to replace

Code:
/"
with

Code:
\"

How could I do this? I've tried several variations, like

Code:
:%s/"/""/"\""/g
obviously to no avail.

Thanks. This should be fun.

Mark
