Howdy,

You have Key Bindings active so " is translated into ``|'' where | is the insertion point. You can turn Key Bindings off by unchecking the box in TeXShop->Preferences->Source->Editor->Key Bindings. You can turn Key Bindings off for a particular document and others opened afterward by clicking on Source->Key Bindings->Toggle On/Off. Finally, you can remove that particular Key Binding by using the Key Bindings Editor; click on Source->Key Bindings->Edit Key Bindings File….

Good Luck,
